Does anyone have any experience with the Swiss 63 grain 5.56mm ammo offered at Ammoman? I just bought a 20" Bushmaster HBAR, and I'm looking for something accurate to plink with.

Any other recommendations of what to feed my new Bushy? It has 1x9" twist, if that helps.

I just got some and so far I like it. It's clean, accurate, and functions well in my AR's.
Would I buy more? Yes.

I tried out a few during the holidays when my brother was in town.

Very clean fodder. Reliability is still up in the air due to the fact that I only put a few down the tube of his AR15.

Accuracy? Jury is still out. We were only shooting @ 400yd steel, prone fire. Targets were less in diameter than a manhole cover. I'll order up 1k after my next paycheck and bench my AR15s with the stuff. If you'd like, I'll give you a range report.

Personally, for plinking I like:
Winchester Q3131A or the
Fed/LC M193 Lot-7/8/9/10

I've also had nothing but great reliability from the South African "battle packs". The "commercial" South African (PMP-Gazelle) 55gr fodder is also good, clean, "fairly" accurate but not as hot as the before mentioned ammo selections.

Don't pass up S&B 55gr ammo either. Good stuff.
