Any of you use both of these ? The Remans are a bit cheaper , was curious how they compare to the 'new' ones.

Love black hills .69g , and so does my .223!

Depends on what you're shooting for? If hunting and general plinking than the remanufactured rounds will probably suit you just fine, but if you're after consistency and accuracy you're better off going with the new Black Hills ammo. Buy a box of each and run your own test.

I've shot lots of Black Hills red box (new), blue box (re-manufactured), and blems (white box), and really the biggest difference is the price. Not really much on-target variation.

I run the 45 grain amax in my rem .223. I have used both new and blue box with no difference in accuracy. Just blue box is kinder on my wallet!

Re: Black Hills .69g New vs Reman

What kind of velocities do those 10.6gr bullets give?

Just kidding, but really, it's "69gr", not ".69g".
