New from Florida -- LR Shooting Qs

Just to add, that .223 barrel is on a model 10 Savage action in an Oryx Chassis for now. I'm waiting on my 2nd Nucleus to be delivered that the barrel will be going on and in another new Oryx Chassis with an Arken 6-24 SH4 to top it. Black Friday purchases. Probably screw another 6br barrel on the Savage for Prairie Dogs I already have one on a Nucleus in a KRG Bravo Chassis. I may break out my 4th Competition Match barreled rifle.
 
hello all!
i bought some hunting ammo and felt it was just too expensive to shoot at non-food targets.
So i want to ask if bullets 1st brand of ammo is a acceptable ammo for me starting out.
The comparison is:
Remington core lokt 150 gr @ $1.50/round
vs.
Bullets 1st 168 gr SMK @$.85/round
???
*im looking at Ammoseek for the smk and over the counter at the local gunstore for the core lokt
 
That ammo that Alvin is looking at is loaded in Lake City brass. The 168smk is on sale at Powder Valley for $37.99. So at 0.84 cents a piece loaded is a bargain. I say buy them. That's practically shipping is the cost of powder and primers....
 
Exactly what to do. Then you can see first hand what is involved and most there will answer your questions and give honest opinions, since they are doing what you intend or what to try. Save yourself a lot of leg work and get on hand advice.

Thinking about it, I hope that site isn’t a scam site. BE CAREFUL ALVIN!!
 
okay now i will ask how to be Careful?
the site is “American Marksman”
it’s regular price is $184.80/200ct
now it’s discounted to $168
Ok. I took a look. They take credit cards. That’s a good sign. I would call them to get a feel. Then order 1 box of 20 rounds and see if you get it. Meanwhile, watch your credit card account for illegal charges.
These scammers are refining their cons. The fact that the web page is copyrighted 2022 has me suspicious!
The fact that they’re selling M80 ball ammo for prices I haven’t seen in 8 years has me even more suspicious!

This may help. I recently got into bench rest. I new nothing about it my wife found a club with a match about an hour from the house. So we took a ride long story short I came away with a few phone numbers. One fellas has been unbelievable invited me to his house to teach me how to neck turn and fire form my brass. Then even drove an hour to my club to watch my shooting technique and coach me. So I STRONGLY suggest that you go attend the next match you can get to and be honest with where your at. I would be shocked if you didn’t get some help.
Best of luck to you!!!
 
The guys that have been shooting this ammo have been happy with it and American Marksmans service. However I would have bought the 175smk bullets for the extended range accuracy.
