what is the price of 223 ammo and 243 ammo which calibre would you pick for foxing and long range crow bashing

[rabbithunter]

Not sure on the price of 243 , but i,ve just bought some 223 remmington vmax 55g and they where 15.00 per 20

factory ammo won't have much difference unless you still have a source for cheap 223 ammo. I haven't seen any decent cheap stuff lately, and for all the more you're shooting it (number of rounds down the tube that is) the price for ammo is minimal here.

 

As for which one, that's personal preference. A 223 is 300yd point and click on fox. It has lighter recoil, and for crows it would be a lot more pleasant to shoot repeatedly. That would be my choice.

 

Thanks

Curious, the current (2008) Remington catalogue does not list any 223 cartridges called Supreme, CXP1 or CXP2, neither does it list any 223 loads at all with 64g bullets.
