    Reloads here but they are mil spec 55ers for general plinking and 68 Hornady BTHP for my medium distance over scoped setup.
    www.Steelvalleycasting.com is your new home for coated bullets and custom ammo.

    was wondering what twist was your barrel, matching the twist rate with barrel can tighten up your groups.

    Hornady Match 75gr is very accurate for my 1:7 AR

    Any ammo will be suitable if all your doing is storing it.

    If your not practicing with it, you won't be able to hit crap, so the zombies will eat you before you even get through the first mag anyway.
