Hey guys,
I recently finished a build in 5.56 and was excited as hell. Thought that since I'm still in college I wouldnt be shoot all that much anyways, so I decided upon shoointg less, and quality ammo. But then yesterday I ran into a gentleman who is a member of a group of former military/special ops that do their own drills and practices, but also teach others(for a small fee). My problem is that I just spent ~80 getting 220rds of .223 Silver Bear, which was pretty inexpensive- but he said they go through thistraining every week and use 150 rounds each time. I would really like to participate as often as possible to learn, but financially I cannot afford $0.50/rd(the ammo I got was on AIM surplus and I have a feeling such cheap .223 wont always be availble, so looking at SS109/XM193 as most common 5.56s out there).
Can you guys recommend your go-to cheap shooting/close range drill ammo? Any grain, any velocity. Thanks,
-John
