| Looking for some good self defense 556 ammo in either 55 grain or 62 grain. I shoot him 193 for my practice ammo and want something similar. Too many options to choose from just would like a couple of solid recommendations to buy several hundred rounds of |

Definitely check the POI shift. The other day I had a 9-10 inch difference (100yards) between 62gr TSX and 75gr Sabre (Palmetto's "black tip"). Oddly, M193 and 77gr TMK are pretty similar out to 200 yards. The TMK is an awesome SD round as well. |

I also like Gold Dot 55gr and Federal Tactical 55 gr JHP using the Gameking bullet as alternatives. Some of my old mags are still loaded with Fed. Fusion MSR 62gr. |
