My local gun club does some "action shooting" matches that I'd like to get involved with. The fliers say "NO FMJ AMMO ALLOWED AT ANY EVENT (except hollow points or open back bullets)". The only HP rounds I've seen for 223 are Federal 69 grain JHP at $12/box, which is about twice what I can afford. Does anyone know of any cheaper ammo that would be allowed?

(I'm using a 20" Bushmaster HBar, 1/9 twist)

No shipping fees, Eric is always reliable.
I highly recommend XM193 or XM855 at about $4.00 a box of 20 - good practice and go to war ammo. Never mind, you can't have FMJ.

You can do the Wolf polymer coated JHP (he has it too) at about 10 cents a round, but don't expect stellar accuracy or muzzle velocity. It's OK for plinking and muscle memory training, the new polymer coating is AR friendly. Check out the AR15..COM Ammo forum, all this has been discussed ad nauseaum  (and then some) over there.

That wolfammoman guy had a 1000rd case  for $100 bucks plus shipping.  But he got booted several times for being a non paying dealer on the site.  Enough guys stirred up some shit on sturmgewehr.com and got him kicked off of there too.

Also, any idea how long shipping would take to MA? Also, is this going to be powerful enough to cycle the action consistantly?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I just saw this. He won't ship to where I am. Is that JHP wolf stuff what I should be looking for?

Save your energy.No dealers will ship ammo to MA.Unfortunately,unless you have a FFL,you have to buy ammo locally.

SPG might be kinda slow, but they have friendly and readily available service and cheaper prices that lots of other places (for ammo) for the same stuff
