I shot my new .223 bull handi today. I'm already falling in love with this little rifle. I was shooting 45 gr. Winchester white box JHP's off a bipid at 100 yards. I shot some American Eagle ammo too. It didn't shoot as nice.

First 3 shot group:

Adjusting the scope:

It got dark before I could really dial it in. I can't wait to shoot it off the bench and see how much better it shoots.

Congratulations buddy, you have a shooter there for sure. A little more break in and they could all be in one hole. I would hate to be a coyote 100-200 yards away for you!!!!....<><....

Step it out to 200 yards and you will be impressed with darm near the same results! I am real happy with my 223 and mine seems to like 55gr reloads. Nice shooting.

Nice work Steve , now you see why the 223 BB is a must have for anyone shooting varments . That is about what i got with mine when i got it and they will get much better .

very nice, it still amazes me how two different brands in the same rifle can shoot so different,

Give the WWB 45's a try they are very accurate out of most Handi's.

It's a good thing I've made some new friends here at "Handiholics Annomonys" to help me deal with my newly aquired addiction.

Pity us Canucks

We don't have access to the accessory barrel program and supply of NEF guns is not very good here. Make the most of it and enjoy

They are definitley one addicting rifle to shoot. My .223 is liking wwb's and the ultramax reloads are shooting great. I have some witht the nosler ballistic tips coming in to try in preperation for wood chucks. The wwb jhp's have been hard to locate recently. I had mine punching 5 out of 7 rounds into a quarter sized group off of a bipod with the ultramax in 55 gr. The two outside the mark were most likely me shaking around.
