I have an 11.5 project going and am wanting some advice on ammo selection. What would be the most effective ammo out of an 11.5 for defensive purposes? I have heard all types of things and just want a definitive answere on it since its going to be my upper that I am going to run with.
 Thanks- |

Hornady TAP 75 grain 5.56 pressure of course. Restricted to LE sales only though.

Winchester 64 grain Power Point Plus would be good and is easily available.

How about M855/SS109?

It will frag partially in gelatin, but I am told it works a little better in people. Either way, it will ruin their whole day. Best to get the heavy stuff, though. |

It can be used but I wouldnt recommend for unreliable frag issues. If you can't get the 75gr, etc. just go with 55gr. M193 but I would avoid M855 if you can. |

I've seen plenty of 20" and 16" stats... but does anyone have a link to any 11.5" comparisons of 55g, 62g, 75g with chrono velocities and energy?

The good ole 55 grain will do nicely...hollow point is a +.

Conventional hollow point .223 under penetrates. |

Thanks for the replys guys.
What about if you are using an 11.5 with a 1 in 9 twist rate? Are you going to be able to stabalize some of these rounds? |

Use 68 OTM grain ammo or 64 grain PP.

Does Black Hills offer 75 or 77gr loads to the general public?

Yes, but they are SAAMI pressure, not NATO pressure. Some retailers have Mk 262 seconds which function as well as the issue stuff. |
