Curious who out there is running a 7.5" barrel in 5.56 and what your go to ammo is.

I want to have the gun setup for more of a CQB/Self defense roll.

Upper is an Adams Arms EVO kit.

In 5.56 I use 193 and 855 and have pretty good luck but Prvi 223 55gr is more consistent for me out of my 8" 1:7. Bought a case.

I was more so curious if anyone was using any "fancy" ammo hahaha.

Just M855, 193 and some hornady steel match so far.

I may pick up some BH 77 TMK for 'fancy' ammo.

I was curious about the 77gr projectile. Would it be "stable"

You're going to need a bullet that is designed to fragment at lower speeds. Personally, for my 7.5" AR, I bought this:

http://www.sgammo.com/product/adi-outback/20-round-box-223-adi-outback-55-grain-sierra-blitz-king-ammo-aob223sbk

According to Sierra, the 55gr, .224 projectile is rated ".224 @ 1800 fps and below" for expansion.

Personally...I do not use my AR pistol for a self/home defense weapon, but I always keep some ammo on hand just in case.

Would a soft point preform best?

Please refer to the "Best Choices..." post at the top of the forum. It lists suggested ammo for SBRs.
