.223 Practice Round

[BearGuy]

Just picked up a tikka .223 for practice. Wondering what you guys are using for cheap practice ammo. Is it mostly gun dependent or is there an overall cheap round that will get the job done well?

My tikka really likes the adi 69 smk pretty cheap

ADI would be my first try and I’d keep an eye out for hornady 73 ELDm on sale.

Ive got a couple cases of 69 smk for sale on classifieds, $1 per round

73 ELDM is excellent and can be found for good prices.

One of the things I like about my 223 is how cheap fmj rounds can be found. Ill buy in lots of 100 or more when they are on sale and re zero my rifle to them. Every manufacture loads them in factory and many are pretty accurate.

I see the price on some of these practice rounds and I might as well just use my premium reloads for my 6CM for practice.

I'm not that fancy. For positional shooting practice I'm just shooting PMC 55gr FMJ. "Good enough" for basic practice and can be had for $0.40/rd. When testing myself for better groups I've been shooting the AAC 77gr OTM. Still only $0.50/rd or so (before shipping) from PSA. PMC gives me 1.75" groups, AAC gives me just under 1.0"
