Not a bad price for some hunting ammo

The 75gr is BadToDaBone out of a 24" barrel. Heavy but dang will it stack'em. Even found some 77gr that will cycle.... CRAZY. Did away with my 243 slot.

This over run and GMM is 2950 fps what is not stated is test barrel length, I would like to see numbers out of a 24"

I'm trying to find a graph but as far as I know 223/556 takes 24" to burn it's full load. I do know it made a 1/2" difference at 200yds for me (77gr vs 69gr) . I know I hillbillied that up but that's what I do lol. Edit: I just remembered that it was Black Hills ammo

I know this don't sort out the grain thing but gives a starting place...maybe? It's been a while; I just got her set and forgot about most of it.

Good looking out posting some available ammo, but I don't think in stock qualifies as a steal or deal at $1.20 per round. I guess it depends on your needs and perspective though!

i am not sure you realize what this ammo is. when green tip is selling for over 1.25 a round, this is leaps and bounds better than green tip. it was 80 plus cents a round before the panic.
