| I have had my ar-15 for about a year during this time I have put a measely 500 rounds of winchester ranger power point(this is due to the fact that I recieve this ammo free of charge from my uncle) thru the barrel. But I have decided to suplement the winchester with some store bought ammo. Which brands do you recommend? Should I buy surplus are commercially loaded ammo? |

The best practice ammo for an AR15 is YRB. It usually comes preloaded in 10 round and 30 round magazines. Price is free. Excellent shooting. YRB is available in very limited supplies. Generally it is good for only one trip to the shooting range, then you can never get your hands on it again! YRP ammo is Your Range Buddy's stuff. He'll give you a mag to shoot, then youre on your own.

Whatever is: 1) Runs reliably in *your* rifle, and 2) is cheapest If you have lots of expendable cash, use as close to the same ammo as what you'll be carrying when things get serious. For most of us, the slight difference in felt recoil isn't going to be a huge factor, but some people are really serious about these things. For me, Wolf, Barnaul, or whatever is cheap works fine. Whatever ammo you choose, buy a hundred rounds or so in boxes and make sure it works in your rifle. If it does, you can start ordering case quantities. |
