I like to hike/bike all over here in Oregon. Live in a very wet brushy area. Usually just pack a .45 wile hiking/biking a long distance. Where I live one can hardly see past 50-100 yards. However I'm planning to head south and explore new ground this spring/summer. That puts me into more open areas. Not vast open ranges but still further than my .45 will work for.
Have a sig 556 SBR transferring threw now. 10.5 barrel 1/7 twist and 5.56x45 caliber. It will be carried for self defense for hiking and cycling. Worried about crazies in trucks and pot growers mainly at 25-250 yards.
What the heck sort of ammo should I pack? Was thinking about some 62g pmc X-tac or maybe some heaver 75g BTHP ammo. Any thoughts gents?
I'd work up my own load but I can't shoot steel case or reloads in my sig due to it's lifetime warranty that I don't want to void. Any input from SBR owners would be much appreciated. Thanks!
