List...
In the quest for reasonably priced .223 ammo, I have been scouring the local trader paper every week since forever. Basically with zero results. This past weekend, however, I found an ad for 200 rnds of factory .223 for $35. I went over and checked things out...but cannot easily id part of the 200 rnds that I bought. I am familiar with the FMJ and hunting round stuff...but this???
Here is what I picked up:
1) 100 rnds of Black Hills Blue box. Looks like 50 or 55 gr FMJ. I recognize this.
2) 100 rnds of Hornady. This is the stuff I have never seen before and would like help identifying. It was in a red box with a label: .223 Rem TAP Urban 55 gr. Each bullet has what appears to be a red plastic tip. All new (I think) Hornady brass.
What is this Hornady stuff used for? Is it a hunting round? Guess I could have Googled to save time...but what the heck. I thought of you guys first.
200 factory rnds for $35 of any .223 these days seems ok. Even if I don't know what some of it is!
