Any tips on ammo for 556 tobr.  First ar and just want to get an idea of what it likes to eat.  Haven't got in to reloading yet so off the self options please.  Any other tips for a first time ar guy would be nice.  Been on the M1A setup and decided to add a Larue to the collection, so trying to get familiar with the new girl.

My tAR likes 77gr FGMM.

Absolutely NO Ultramax ammo. My OBR barrel liked 75gr over 77s. It also shot 55gr Hornady soft points great as well.

.....My tARs seem to like 69 gr over others and Black Hills and Nosler Custom Competition more than FGMM....They do fine with others just not as accurate for me...

ETA: Sorry, that's tARs and Stealth not just tARs...

Black hills 69gr+ have been good for making small holes.

Normally run 75 or 77gr BTHP cheapest I can find for plinking, more than accurate enough, have taken most budget finds out to 750yards without issue.

Go shooting in the sticks so it is a mix.  Small holes, till the critters show them selves.  But no I am not burning up the tactical corse.  Just trying to get a place to start.  Will probably get a few types to try just wanted to be in the ballpark.

I need better glass & more practice but 77gr imi razor stuff is EDIT 0.70 ($0.50 per round), and I cant shoot good enough to know the difference between it and go fed gold match.

Where do you get IMI 77g for .50 a round? I would like to buy a case right meow at .50 a round.

It will eat anything for you're purposes

Typically I used 855 or 193 but this state doesn't prohibit FMJ for hunting.

My stealth barrels like 77 razor core and 50 gr tipped varmint equally. Similar POI as well...limited testing unfortunately.
