223 What ammo I need.
« on: February 19, 2011, 12:22:03 PM »
Got me a 1/12,  223,  22 inch barrel. What factory load do I need to start with?
I'm not a reloader so I got to have something factory to shoot in this purdy little thing.
Got to get glasses for it first. ::) Then I wanta start stacking bullet holes.

I haven't been able to find any at Wally World as they are all sold out, but I ordered some last week from Natchez. I am itching to see how the 45 gr. Winny's shoot.

They are the "gold standard" for 1/12 Handi's. There is not much you can do even as a reloader to improve on them for these fine little single shot guns. Your gun will most likely shoot better than you can using that ammo. It should/can do 1" or less at 100 yards with that ammo.  Have fun!!!....<><....:)

Don't overlook ULTRAMAX 52gr BTHPs either.
My ultra likes them just as well and they have that little extra edge on larger varmints.
My old contender wouldn't shoot anything else but trully loved them.
1/2" at 100 was no problem with them.
