Is there any ammo you won't shoot in your AR?

[metalliman545]

So I priced Wolf at 19.5 cents per round ( Aim) but lake city seems to be about 45 cents a round ( Ammoman) . That is more than just a few cents more. Am I not looking at the right place for Lake city ammo?

CTD has LC m855 shipped to oxnard in Ventura county for 365.
thats like 36 cents a round.

I'm not interested in saving 20 cents a round. I buy ammo by the case(s) and get the best I can afford. If I can get a case of 62 or 69gr "Match" ammo, I'll buy it. even if it costs $700 or more for the case. I do this because I want the most accurate ammo for my rifle that I can get my hands on. "Good enough" doesn't do it for me. If every shot isn't a polished gem (Breathing, cheekweld, consistant trigger pull, GOOD AMMO), Then you've wasted both your money and rangetime in my opinion. This goes for any rifle I have. My SKS gets Yugo brass MilSurp only, because it's what groups best in that rifle. I ALWAYS know where that first shot from a cold barrel is going to go. The bottom line? That first "Cold barrel" round may save your life someday, or may be the difference between eating and your kids going hungry.

I've got a batch of Fiocchi that is giving me troubles. Seller & Bellet is the most reliable brand I've run thus far. Winchester wasn't bad either. Sure which I had stuck with one of those instead of getting the Fiocchi nightmare I have now. Sadly I bought in bulk. I have a 1K+ rounds of the stuff.

go try a stress shoot than. run a few miles, crawl a few hundred yards, carry someone, oh yea make sure your wearing full body armor. get to a range with pop up targets and try to qualify expert 40 shots 40 targets in like 5 minutes.

i shoot for fun, i love it. yea i try to get accuracy down but i dont kick myself in the head everytime. chances are if your using a rifle for a self defense situation like you said none of that would matter because relexive fire comes into play. up fire down.

its sounds like all you do is bench shoot.

[metalliman545]

ill tell ya right now, being shot at isnt fun. adreniline changes lots of things.

[Deadon]

I just ordered 3k Rounds of wolf

199.00 a case, not bad. When Im shooting for fun it does the trick. For the rest there's reloads.

That's all my AR has used was steel cased.No problems yet.

You'd be surprised at my training regiment. No, I don't just "Bench shoot". Looking at your regiment, Done that (Minus the body armor)... Still do it when I can, Got the "T" shirt + four or five other drills you probably haven't seen. On top of that, I know a 15 yr old girl and a 12 yr old girl that has those "T" shirts also. You're not the only one on this board that does or has done intense training. There are several here I can think of.

BTW, I do this for fun, So do my Daughters. Besides that, I believe I stated that it was my opinion only.

[darkest2000]

I shoot everything as long as it's factory. I don't trust anyone's "reloads".

[toopercentmlk]

Match grade because my AR is not worthy of such ammo.

Same, I'd feel like I was wasting it without some sort of zoom optics.

[erratikmind]

Shot my first case of Silver Bear 62 gr. HP, which is my last case, as well. I can deal with the sub par accuracy. However, I do not like the red primer adhesive, which creates a big sticky mess inside of my bolts. In retrospect, I guess I received what I paid for.

Sounds like your shooting sub par ammo, what you need to do is load your own and tailor it to each specific rifle, then you know your getting the best, otherwise your wasting time and money

[stitchnicklas]

we have shot everything from Wolf to Silver State Armory and most issues come from improper maintenence
