Thanks for the great responses guys.
Of course, shot placement is key. I'd still feel better knowing my ammo's good though, even if in the A zone.
Although now I do feel more confident in my fmj.
As a response to your questions, Shadow9mm:
Actually because of your comment on the varmint rounds, I contacted a hunting shop which I know carries .223 bolt actions and they actually have Winchester ballistic silvertip so thanks a lot for that suggestion.
Other than that we've got Geco Target, Sellier & Bellot and federal. All .223
No open tip match rounds as far as I've seen.
Boxes of 50-100 rounds. For the cheapest, which is the sellier bellot, it's 55 cents (USD) per round. For the Geco Target, 66 cents.
The varmints come in 20 round boxes and are 2.63 USD a round.
Many people have bolt action or break open shotguns for hunting here but not many have pistols, let stand AR's. Hence, we have no shortages or anything of the kind. The prices as stated above are what they've always been. I suppose to you guys these prices must seem a little steep, but it's just how it is here. My rifle's a sig 516 patrol gen2, I don't recall how much it costs over there but it was 2965 USD.
30 round mags by the way.
