Winchester white box .222 ammo

It doesn't work in my 788. It shot about an inch or more, and then threw out a round about two inches low. I figure it was the ammo, since the windage was perfect.
The bad news is I have a lot of this stuff I bought CHEAP. I also have some Lapua .222 brass and 53 gr. Sierra Match Kings, and loaded up some yesterday. I suppose the .222 factory ammo I have will furnish acceptable brass. The Super X would be good enough for wasting ammo at large targets, ground hogs, etc. I've got maybe 300 rounds of it which I bought for $4 a box.

Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

So it's not as accurate as your handloads, still good plinking ammo and a heck of a price, just for the brass.
I really like the .222, partially because it's a "cool" round. Not popular any more. It's kinda cute.

This is a good idea, especially if he uses one of those inertia, hammer type bullet pullers. If he were to count how many strikes each one takes and some take just a few while others take 20 or more, there's his accuracy problem. So might as well pull them all.
I'm not a plinker by nature either but i will shoot anything that's cheap or free. Just shoot it at paper. It's still practicem, which never hurts even though the groups may be a little bigger. Hell I've got an almost new .223 Stevens that won't shoot as good as what you said. Shoot the ammo up and reload it. If you find you just get tired of shooting it, do as suggested and pull the bullets and work up your own load. I don't see much down side here no matter which way you go.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
Nah.............my niece told me how to express my approval the way it should be expressed ( according to the rulez of the interwebs), and according to her, if I did it any other way, I wouldn't be taken seriously..........
Razorbacker shall take this post under advisement.
I will get my people to call your people to discuss the situation................
You could always use smaller targets and bring them closer.....................At 20yds I reckon all the holes will be touching.
