During my mini-inventory, I found a number of different .223 ammo offerings in my inventory.

Are any of these suitable for starting out with the clinic Derek is planning? [I know that none of this stuff is as good as Black Hills or Lake City, but my advantage is that it is already paid for and "in stock" :) ]

PMC 55gr

JSC Barnaul Machine-Tool Building Plant 62gr FMJ (3043fps/1270ft-lbs, 3.15' dispersion at 100yds

IMG (Battle Pack, So. African) - This is the stuff I paid AG Guns $100 for 360rd battle-pack back in 1998. [If Derek remembers that thread on ARFCOM NE forum.] I've never opened this pack - it's a constant reminder of being a sucker!
 
Len,

I would shoot the 62gr over the 55gr. My recommendation would be 69gr at the 200. But if you want to shoot what you have that's good too. I wound not bother bringing the 55gr though.
