Anyone have any recommendations, opinions or stats regarding the most accurate ammo for .223/5.56, 1/7 twist  - Hornady or Black Hills?

The Hornady steel case training ammo is accurate and reasonably priced.

Both make excellent ammo. Which one is best for you? Buy different loads from each and conduct your own testing. Take pics, collect data, and post AAR.





What are you planning on using this ammo for?

IIRC Black Hills makes the MK262, so I would try some of that first.  At the end of the day though you need to try both and see which does better in your rifle.

Search for Molon's posts he does some reviews that may help you out.

I use both with my bushmaster, 1:9 twist, 75gr HP. Both are great ammo, but the hornady tap holds a tighter shot group. My zero is the same for both.

This will depend alot on your particular rifle, I have one rifle that likes Hornady 75gr Match best and another that likes the BH 77SMKs best, however the difference is pretty insignificant and at the end of the day get great results from both...both are excellent ammo choices
