223 Ammunition

**Charlie De** · March 25th, 2010, 12:07 PM

I am interested in what brand of ammunition you guys recommend for AR 15s. I want it for puncturing paper at 100yards or tearing up terrorist tin cans at 50 yards. I'm not into National Match Competition. But I'm looking and I see brands out there that I do not recognize. Also where do you get it?

Thanks

They have all the ammo you would need and it's delivered to your door.
And you could learn to reload or make friends with guys who already reload. If you have your own brass, you can make a thousand rounds for about $170.

I mostly use PMC Bronze, and Lake City... The PMC is very reliable, and very cheap. I have never once had a problem with them in my AR, out of over 1000 rounds.

I use PMC for more every day shooting/plinking, and the Lake City for some of the better things.

I like the PMC. I found it for $7 a box and $329 + $12 shipping for 1000rds. I'll attach the link below.

Why my home-brewed loads of course. Silly that you should ask!

I do have 500 rounds of Wolf ammo for the really nasty terrorist paper targets but I haven't needed them for a while.

Most of the above is good advice, you might add Privi Partisan to your list. It is made in Serbia and is boxer primed and reloadable. Speaking of which you may get the urge to roll your own some day soon. Toward that end I'd look to buy the same brand and save that brass.

Another option is reloaded such as Georgia Arms "canned heat".
