My Barrett loves this stuff and it was very reasonably priced.

It's out of production. Could make a return around November

This stuff sold out at my local before I got a chance to try it through my 308, I hope it becomes available again.
I bought plenty of the Aussie Outback 223 55gr Sierra blitzking and it shoots like stink out of my Steyr and now it's no longer available, it's the best I've used, crazy accurate and cheaper by the 200 round brick than anything else bar maybe PPU (only by a few bucks) which is a bonus. Saw plenty of the Aussie Outback 69gr Sierra matchking come in the other day but it doesn't suit my needs. As with the 308 hunting rounds, I hope the 223 55 gr becomes available again soon....

I believe OSA Buffalo River ammo is comparable if not identical other than head stamp.

That's assuming he shoots enough to justify that :thumbsup:

And has the time....
A buddy taught me to reload but it's the time.

I drool when I see the dillon videos with all the auto feeders chucking out 800 rounds an hour. But I added up all the cost of the gear and can't quite justify it. A long time before I break even.
