Hey ya'll!
I am a long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a hypothetical question for ya. Let's say you were about to go to war. You don't know where, could be Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, E. Europe, or wherever. You are going to be given an M14 (don't want to get into other platforms or that the AR-15, FAL, Cetme, G3, etc. etc. is better) and you can choose whichever bullet you want for it. There is going to be no Geneva Convention to worry about here, though. You only want to choose the bullet that is going to do the best job. Do you step up to a 175 gr BTHP for the range? Sierra Game King for the stopping power? 147 FMJ for the reliability? Black Hills match grade ammo?
For me, I think I would choose 165 or 180 grain ballistic tip. The ballistic tip helps with feeding but still allows great expansion and the heavier bullet will reach out a bit if the need comes up.
Well, what do you take?
