I have a Stag Model 1 (w/Plus Package) AR15, it has the 5.56mm NATO chamber and a 1 in 7 twist 16" barrel, both are chrome lined. My carbine shoots 55 and 62 gr. ammo equally well, with iron sights, I haven't tried an optic yet. I've shot Remington 55 gr. FMJ UMC, PSP Core-Lokt and HP Power Point, Federal AE FMJ and M193 NATO ammo. As well as 62 gr. M855 NATO ammo. I have some Hornady Superformance Match 75 gr. HPBT ammo that I haven't shot yet. I've heard the 1 in 7 twist shoots 55 gr. to 77 gr. ammo well. I haven't tried the heavier ammo yet.
I was wondering what you guys and/or gals are using for Home Defense or even duty patrol ammo in your AR's or other 223/5.56 rifles or carbines, specifically with 1 in 7 twist barrels? I'm looking for a good pointed soft point, hollow point or ballistic tip ammo for home defense ammo. Obviously I'll have to shoot any type of ammo that's recommended to make sure it shoots good and reliable in my carbine. When I had my last AR15 which I sold 4 years ago, Winchester 64 gr. Power Point ammo was recommended by some. How does it compare to other ammo out there today?
Is Prvi Partizan ammo any good? I see it on a bunch of different sites. Is it good enough for practicing with? What other ammo do you use for practice with? I tried steel case Tul Ammo (I think it's called) the other day and broke the rim where the extractor grabs it. Don't know if I'm going to try that again.
Thanks, NYH1.
