| What is a good bullet for 223 reloading for target shooting. DPMS AR15 1:9 twist |
|
60gr V-max has delivered sub inch groups at 200 for me out of my 1:9. Saw a video of a guy using past 600yds with decent accuracy.
There's a few 52/53 grain match bullets that work well, most 1:9s will handle 68/69gr match bullets, some will take 75/77s. 55fmjs are generally most affordable, of them Hornady's offering is the best (most consistent) I know of. |

If your rifle is up to it, you should be able to get MOA of less with a variety of standard quality bullets like the ones made by Hornady, Sierra, Speer, Nosler, etc. The only quality bullet I have not gotten at least 1" groups with from my VTR-15 was the Nosler 60gr Partition and I really did not pursue it very much because I believe the 65gr Sierra was a better choice for deer in the .223 and it shot right around .700" easily. |

I always forget that target shooting doesn't mean what it use too!!! LOL , Just Plinking at my local range, 100 to 200 yards |

My 2 favorites are the Hornady 55gr SP or FMJ. Before this current "situation" either could be purchased for around 10c each if bought in 250 quantities or more. If you are looking for something you may find at your local gun shop or big box store you really can't go wrong with any name brand bullet from 50 to 69 grains. |

Once in a while, some bulk deals show up for plinker bullets that helps keep the costs down. Keep a watch for the next time they offer some of those 5k bulk packs of 55 grain ball or similar.
