Who stocks Hornady for .223?

johngalway

The nice deal I found earlier fell through, shop out of stock temporarily.

Anyone know of other shops stocking Hornady? Preferably sub 25 for 40 grain and sub 27 for 55 grain.

Thanks muchly

Try Joe in redmills of Goresbridge, I bought a case off him last week for a good bit less than €250 for 200.40gr
He may not have them in stock as this was his last case but he says that he can get them in ok

I'm told Stakums in Urlingford have them as well. There like hens teeth in Dublin.

The last 3 dealers i was with were:.........

Sean Harding in Stakelums in Thurles, he has a good stock of 55gr Hornady @ €28 per box and a few 75gr (don't know price).

Sean O'Neill in Atlantic Shooting in Carlow, he has a few 40gr (i think but no 55gr) at €24-€25 per box.

John Butler in Griffin and Hawe in Athy, he has a good stock of Hornady in 40gr, 53gr (i think) and 55gr. Prices ranging from €24 -€28 per box.


Ring before traveling as stocks are clearing kinda fast.





I'm on chauffeur duty this week for the father (going around some dealers) so as i get more i'll post prices and availibility.

Not as yet Enda, he worked out €32 a box to the door last time I bought. The place I was checking out this morning would have been €26.50 a box to the door. As they say, I'm shopping around

I shot some of the 75gr BTHP match which I got from Paddy O Mahoney in 'An Riocht' for circa €30 ish +/-

Very impressed with it out of the 24 inch tikka tactical barrel .223 Rem.

Should be equally as good I bet. Lovely round. I had well over 2 hours drive to get there myself but I bet you will pick it up else where too even though the dealers locally wouldnt stock it as its not a hunting round.

Hi john,

I cleaned Duffy's out of 220's a couple of years ago, seem to remember seeing 23's there, worth a try.

hi tikkat3. i have the 20" t3 tac. and i have fired it out to 500y with the 75gr BTHP match. with great results.
i was thinking about getting the 308 version in 24". how do you find it for handeling & what do you mainly use it for.
(i know yours is the .223);)

Hi poulo6.5,

500yards!:eek: well done! I have never shot at anything near those distances.

I find the 24 inch barrel grand but stick a moderator onto it and it is a handful, not something I would like to be hunting with.

Mine was bought for target shooting, but alas due to lack of time I have only put around 100 rounds max through it so I am still only getting used to it. Very accurate though

i only did it reciently with a lad from boards called shanmoll308, he does targot shooting and he had me getting real good groups at 100y straight away and then 2-3-4-500y . i would never have done it by my self, but i know what i need to do now. he said the rifle should be able to group out to 800y so i'm looking forward to trying that.

its a pitty you dont get out more with that rifle, if its anything like mine it loves to shoot. you will have no bother getting 1/2 moa groups or better with that rifle.;)

this is a pic of a 6" steel plate shot at 500y with 75gr BTHP match.

Hes 55grn Varmint express and 40grain Moly
No 55grn Moly my Favourite, but he has them on Order.

I e-mailed Hornady, next shipment in the country is due in May. So order with your dealer aas hornady comes through Gowen and Bradshaw, but they will not tak orders from Jo0e Bloggs the feckers :mad:
No matter how big the order!
Duffy in Galway has no 55grn Moly either. waiting on same shipment

if anybody has 55grain Hornady MOLY let me know!

Hi Kay 9,

My 24 inch tactical .223 is an 8 inch twist, and I think the 20 inch barrel is the same. Good to stabilise those heavier rounds,

ya mine is 1 in 8" twist also. very good with heavey rounds . i never tried anything lighter than 50gr as i read on here that the twist rate in my rifle wont suit them , but i am open to correction

Thats top notch shooting poulo6.5!! Well done! From looking at the plate, it would appear there is a fair bit of energy left in the 75gr at 500 yards.

I was told today that only 20% of order came in this month.

So no 110 grain .308 and most importantly no .223's

It is only June.
