Several years ago I had an AR and my hand loads were made with cheap 55 grain remington hollow point bullets purchased at Midway. I recall paying somewhere around 7 bucks a hundred for the bullets. Now I've got another AR ordered and will be feeding it handloads but when I researched the bullets and prices I see that the little cheap remington bullets ain't as good a buy as they used to be. I ended up ordering some Hornady 55 grain spire points and I know there are several on here that use them. I'm just wondering what kind of terminal performance you're getting out of them. Do you get exit wounds consistently? I'm really not looking for exits. My initial loads will be made using Varget with the above bullets and not sure on brass yet. I thought I had a truck load of it still under my loading bench but I can't find it so I'll probably have to buy some.
Of course every place is out of stock on anything that I am looking for so I'm playing the waiting game. Probably at least two weeks for the bullets /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Six weeks for the gun /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif and can't even find any of the cheap Winchester white box ammo anywhere. I was going to use the white box to sight. Maybe I'll find some before the gun gets here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
Guess I ought to say what I'm using them for huh? Mostly coyotes and the occasional bobcat.
