Hi,
I've got a new SIG 556 on the way and was hoping to get some help choosing ammo. I've read somewhere that it prefers 62gr and heavier bullets, and that FMJ is the way to go. Does this sound correct?
Was looking for an all-around cartridge that would be good for everything. Basically I wanted some decent quality ammo, nothing too cheap and nothing too expensive. I have looked all over the net and I admit im suprised at how costly ammo is. This is my first rifle
Some deals that I have found that look good to me are mostly at ammoman and ammunition to go. Ammoman has "M855 SS109 GREEN TIP AMMO" for $399 per 1000rnds. Is this stuff any good? Or is there something else I should be looking at, at this price point?
I have also seen some wolf and barnaul deals out there for around $220 per 1000rnds. Some are laquer coated, some are polymer coated. Should I just avoid this? I am really confused about which to go with. Again I am looking for a round that does well everwhere ... plinking, defense, etc. And if the cheaper steel cased ammo is going to cause any problems, I'd rather just avoid it (if thats the case). Please advise. Thanks.
