Cabela's has on special 200 round value packs of this .223 stuff for $49.99.  They claim it gets 3400fps velocity with a 50 gr. JHP.  Any opinions?

Yeah.

That is gonna be $250 plus tax.  

Buy it here for $239 shipped to your door.

I havent chronoed it - but based on past experience - most manufacturers pretty much LIE about their velocities... and base it off a 24" or 26" barrel length with a SAAMI match chamber.  Sont expect much more than 3200fps out of an AR.

I shot some stock I had for more than a few years this morning. Some of it seemed hotter than others but it did shoot pretty well. Best 5 shot group was 11/16 at 100. Other 3 groups were Inch to Inch and a half. This was in a 24 inch bushmaster varminter.

I haven't purchased any ammo over the web before. Somebody in the Oregon HTF posted that this supplier gives discounts to ARFCOM members.

That is the 50 grain HP crap.


Not 55 grain AE223.
