You can go buy a box of 20 rounds anytime you want (assuming your shop has them) but then you’re going to pay more.
Or you can buy .223 bulk ammo – assuming you can justify the expense. Well, here are some ways to get your money’s worth.
Steel Shooting
Steel shooting is a lot of fun and done mostly for enjoyment, rather than for competition (though there are exceptions to this).
Consequently you need a lot of ammo, so it’s best to buy in bulk. Word to the wise, buy frangible .223 where you can find it, not FMJ as that’s pretty tough on steel targets.
Range Therapy/Burning Brass
Sometimes you just go to the range to send a few rounds off. When you’re breaking in a rifle and just getting familiar with it, sometimes you shoot without a purpose. And sometimes you just need some range therapy.
Either way, the best thing to do in these scenarios is engineer a way to bring down the price per trigger pull. And .223 bulk ammo is the best way to do that.
Training and Drilling
You need a lot of ammo for drilling; some drills alone can take 50 or close to 100 rounds. For both training and drilling, therefore, it makes sense to buy in bulk when and where you can to drive costs down.
Competition
At the same time, it’s not always about volume and low cost – sometimes it’s just about volume. If you compete and can get a good deal on your preferred round, why not save in the process? For those who compete a lot, those prices will add up eventually anyway.
Teaching New Shooters
Here’s one thing about .223 Remington. It offers solid performance for a huge laundry list of shooting disciplines, but as centerfire cartridges go, it’s about as inoffensive as they come.
It’s light, cheap, carries easily, and produces very little recoil and basically no muzzle blast (though it can be pretty loud), all of which make it ideal for teaching new shooters the basics.
Add in the fact that the AR-15 is widely chambered in this and 5.56, and you have some pretty high demand.
All in all, it’s a great beginner cartridge for centerfire shooters.
Predator Control
Are you tasked with keeping local numbers of foxes and yotes under control? If so, the specifics of the ballistic performance probably don’t really matter to you. What matters is if the thing goes down, and you can get it done cheap. Another mark in favor of .223 bulk ammo.
Varmint Control
The same rules apply here. If you use a .223 for long range varmint control (say, of prairie dogs) then all that matters are cost and efficacy. If it takes them out, the next most important criterion is price. Bulk is the way to get that down.
