Just picked up a T3x in 223. Any recommendations for decent but relatively inexpensive (per round) bulk ammo that shoots well out of these? Goal right now is for target shooting out to 300 yards. First time shooting this caliber and would like to buy in larger quantities, especially if purchasing online. Thanks!

What`s your .223`s twist? You might take a look at Black Dot Ammunition. They have a web site. They package a remanufactured 55grain VMax round that shoots sub-MOA at 100 yards easily out of my 1:9 Savage 110 Storm. Several hundred rounds used, absolutely no issues to this point.

It is 1:8 with a 20" barrel

This stuff has been excellent in several rifles and you can’t get 223 match ammo for any less. 69gr handles 300 yards no problem.


The old Australian outback stuff shot great for me but this new ADI branded 69 smk doesn’t shoot well out of my T3x lite. The 55 SMKs do well though.

Factory hornady 73 ELDm (only shot one box thus far) looks really good so far in the same gun. They are available for a little under $1/round.
