Just curious, anyone have any experience with the Federal .223 55 gr Trophy Bonded load, or the 55 gr TB in the .22-250? Thinking about trying a few out this fall.

Better get them while you can find them. They are being dropped from the product line last I heard.

I have used them on deer and antelope in Montana and elsewhere in my various 223Rem rifles through the years. They have worked great for me so far.

They shoot great in my CZ 527 .223.

Trouble is - they have been discontinued by Federal.

They are now available in the tactical law enforcement only line at $35.00 per box.

OUCH!!

If you find them, better snap them up. I've been searching gun shows, no luck yet.

They work, but so do a host of other bullets, and other bullets that have a better reputation for accuracy...and tht are cheaper and still readily available!

Good choice...

actually those cheap old Hornadys shoot pretty darn well.. regardless of price... in several of my rifles they are as accurate as Sierra Match bullets are!

that 55 grainer hornady is great. the bullets are a little tough if you are looking for exposive results on groundhogs out of a 223. they shoot great in my CZ. have not shot any out of my 22-250. that rifle likes the 60 grain sierra hollow points.
