    Dont have a 223 myself but thought this was cheap

    Three boxes of tulammo for twenty euro in Athlantic shooting in carlow
    I never heard of it before but its made in Russia I think it is 53 grain FMJ
    maybe not the best hunting but for cheap plinking it sounds good

    Jim Griffin in Rahan, Tullamore does HPS ammo in .223 for €42-€44 a box of 50. Thats only €0.85 per round. Plus it's HPS, which going by their 150gr Nosler in .308 (hunting), and Matchking in 155, 168, 175, 190gr (target ammo), is about the best quality factory/reloaded ammo you'll get.

    The Hornady 55g soft point training rounds are decent for the price. I think €40 for 50. They are far better quality than the wolf and cheap crap. Feck all dealers stock them though. Pity.

    Here's another vid but this lad has a different opinion on the ammo. MPOV now is that these guys are using AR platforms so thay could work ok,ish in a bolt action. If anyone has ever used them before it would be great to her from them. If i'm ever out that way I'd probably buy some.

    That yank would do your head in rambeling. If you forward to 6mins and play you can see how there's differences in some of the rounds, Any good brand shouldnt be like that I think?
