Just picked up my new S&W M&P 15 Sport from my FFL. Bought it from ImpactGuns for special $599 free shipping.
I'm pleased and now I ve got to determine what is the best value "bang for the buck" in plinking/range ammo for it. I want to stay with brass cased and something that is budget priced and available on line. Prefer to buy up a bit before prices get higher or another shortage occurs. If anyone else has this rifle or familiar with it chime in! Thanks |

If you want to stay with brass, go to bunbot.net and look for 223 Wolf Gold... I will second this. Wolf Gold 55 Grain for cheap but reliable and accurate 223 55 grain. If you're looking for 62 Grain, PMC X-TAC Green Tip are excellent rounds for the price. |
Hello all, im new to this forum and probably asking this question in the wrong thread! I just started shooting my buddies AR about 3-6 months ago, i haven't had HANDS ON practice with them before that but i have been studying them for many years. Including researching and contemplating my own custom builds. He has a standard Colt LE 9620 w/Knightarmco rear BUIS (200m-600m) and the standard A2 front sight. I verified all adjustments were squared away before we started sending rounds down range,however i'm not CONSISTENTLY getting 1"-1 1/2" groups at 50 yards. More like 6"-9" clusters . Could any one recommend some pointers/tips to help me get more consistent groups. We are shooting from a rest,thats the embarrassing thing Thanks in advanced.......

Probably best that you start your own thread so this one isn't hijacked. OP, you'll find a lot of good brass ammo. I'm shooting a lot of Independence and American Eagle 55 grain these days. Most recently, it's going for around $7.50 per box of 20. S&W makes a fine AR. My first was the M&P OR and it's still one of my favorites. |

Thanks for your advice on the ammo and for your votes of approval on the M&P 15 sport. I didnt mention but I first bought the M&P15-22 back almost a year ago and have been wanting it's 'big brother' since so now I've got them both
Now to learn about the gun...so I really appreciate this forum and youtube videos. |

Now to learn about the gun...so I really appreciate this forum and youtube videos. You didn't mention the 15-22 but that's how I got caught up in this never ending cycle of building and buying ARs also. The 15-22 is the ultimate gateway rifle. I got it, loved it, shot it and one day, a guy at the range with an AR checked it out. He liked it and commented that it was "cute".  The next day I had my M&P OR in hand and I was learning more about the AR than I ever thought I would.
Just checked my crystal ball and it told me your next step is a stripped lower receiver... |
