    AR15 Ammo

    Not for myself:

    What do you think is the best factory ammo to run through AR15s? Specifically a Remington R15 with an 18 inch barrel and 1/9 twist. Not set up for reloading. What's best for hunting? What's best for target? Plinking?

    Brass cased Hornady training ammo seams to be going well through most AR's. Easy on the wallet and kills pretty well too.

    Ive had little to no change in poi when changing from brass and steel cased hornady. Shoots around the inch mark through all my gear. Price wise its pretty much unmatched by anything out there, especially for consistancy and reliability. Shame its hard to find unless you know where to look....

    Most of that hornady on tardit is a dollar a round other than the tula which works out at 75 cents with postage. Theres even a box of steel case sitting at 51 bucks. No thanks. Ive been spoilt with what ive been scoring it for. If anymore of it comes into the country im dropping a few thosand dollars on the stuff. Hornady make a brilliant round.

    The BVAC 55 grain SP from Reloaders is pretty good. It's MOA stuff in a decent rig, and almost all Lake City brass.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Highland or PriviPartisan (same stuff) runs nicely through my R15.
    Hornady steel training ammo is good - but supply has almost dried right up, and Hornady aren't making anymore in the forseeable future yet.
    Used these 2 brands mainly and are good on goats, wallaby's, bunnies and fallow deer.

    I've been warned off using the Barnaul ammo as well.

    That would be great if there is a supply coming.
    Hornady have it on their list of ammo they've stopped making for a while. There's the link to that on here in another thread.

    Lol and it will probably all be gone in a week. It's great "cheap" ammo. I'm surprised it shoots so well in so many guns, when I chronied it there was a good amount of shot to shot variation.
