Whatever shoots well. Hornady 105gr HPBT or 108gr ELD-M are usually good.
I am about the buy 1000 "AAC 5.56 NATO Ammo 77 Grain OTM" but I have no idea if they "shoot well" in my 223. I have 500 55g Berry's that I know shoot pretty well, and am wondering if I should just use the Berry's for the "close" 100-200 stuff, and buy 500 of the 77 ACC?

Thanks! I only have the 6 ARC. Since I'm in Colorado, I'm unsure about getting a .223 due to the regulations here. For now, I'm considering renting one. I'm just trying to decide which ammunition to bring and how much of each.
You don’t hand load I’m assuming?

Hell, I’d try to find a bunch of the 106 2nds for what people paid for them (less than the $0.25 I have into my pile of 224 ELDs).

Brass may be more expensive I guess.

I’d prefer to shoot a 6ARC over a 223 for a trainer.

Those AAC 77’s shoot decent to very well in every tikka I have seen. However, anything that shoots well is fine for at least half the rounds.
 
Here is my setup:
TIKKA T3X ACTION
UM TIKKA BOLT HANDLE + KNOB
ROKSTOK
FACTORY TIKKA DBM + MAG
ACE STEEL BARREL 20″ 7.5TW
THREADED MUZZLE + CAP 5/8-24
“VANGUARD VERDE” CERAKOTE
6 LBS 7.3 OZ – 39.75 IN LONG

Suppresor if you can, AB Warthog is great for a cheap option, better yet borrow one of the new UM cans and report back. Get that Maven on sooner than later, you may find that you need LOP extension on the stock which requires a trip back to UM. No issue on LOP for me w a SWFA 3-9

FWIW I’d take a cheap can and SWFA 3-9 over a Maven and no can. The Maven is very nice and there are better can options pending budget.
 
Maybe try Turo. I’ve never used it but I have buddies that have multiple times and say it’s great.
Turo is the way. Bozeman airport hit them with a pretty high tax in the last year or two for airport drop offs though. Think it’s $150-200, can’t remember. Go through turo and pick up somewhere other than airport. Taxi or shuttle to car pick up, drops the prices back down to normalish.

I don't have load, but I would like to get into it. Thanks for the advice!
 
Ya $538 for a tacoma. Everything else even small cars were like $1800
Sounds like a good business opportunity for a local to run a shuttle service
Paid a little over a grand for the “managers special” for the week before yours. I bet an uber would be similar or more.
