223

[yankee outlaw]

thinking about a 223 and just use factory ammo any combos out there work well

 

[VinceMule]

Work well for what purpose? Coyotes, deer, varmints, self defense?

 

[yankee outlaw]

just wood chucks around the farm around 100 yds or so

 

[VinceMule]

Hornady 55g V Max factory loads will open the chucks up!

 

[yankee outlaw]

yea looking for a good rifle factory ammo combo only shoot it maybe 10 times a year so i dont want to get into reloading for it

 

[VinceMule]

The Hornady 55g will serve you well.

i got spoiled with how my tikka t3x shoots in 6.5 with factory ammo but not sure how the tikka is with factory 223

 

[ShtrRdy]

I don't think anyone can guarantee that a particular ammunition in a particular rifle will shoot excellent. If I were you I would buy another Tikka.

 

[yankee outlaw]

yes i think tikka maybe pretty safe bet
i thought i ways down to 1 wood chuck last fall
yesterday i looked and there ways 7 i am getting behind

 

[Tiny Tim]

Tikka and Savage are likely your best bets for a chance at a relatively inexpensive and accurate rifle for your stated purposes.

 

[VinceMule]

Chances are, OP is not shooting long range at all, probably 200 yds and under.

 

[hyborn0000]

1 plus for 223 tikka
I've got several they shoot great with factory ammo

 

[yankee outlaw]

yes sir some thing easy for the back yard i do reaload and shoot out there with my 6br
6.5 and 7 mm i just run out of time for every thing

You don`t need a 223 to kill woodchucks at 100yds.
A basic 22rimfire or a 22 magnum will do the job just fine at 100yrds.

Hell i`ve killed them easily with my 22 caliber pellet rifle.
