Most accurate loads for a T3 Lite 1:8 .223 Rem?
Just bought this rifle for my son and am wondering what experienced owners have found to be an accurate round. I would love to find an inexpensive round for the range, but am also interested in hunting rounds too. Some people are saying I need a heavier bullet if I’m looking for any level of “sub” MOA performance, others are saying if I’m not reloading, I won’t have any luck. I’m REALLY hoping that’s not the case. Any info would be appreciated, thanks in advance! ??

You’ll just have to buy some and try them through the gun , what works for one gun might not work in another , but if you use the same round for target and range he’ll get more of understanding on where the bullet will hit with a given distance and wind / weather conditions , also is it worth the hassle putting cheap ammo through a good rifle for me it seams a waste of a good barrel

I've shot everything from a 40gr – 80.5gr projectiles in my guns and it stabilized all of them.
Some reading for you for tested handholds….
Current personal 223 load for target and Hunting:
Hornady Brass
Nosler 60gr Spitzer BT
Target – 25.5grs
Coal – mag lengthFactory ammo that was sub MOA out of both my 8 twist 223 T3's…
Hope that helps…
