I'm taking delivery of a new to me HK 91 tomorrow. Wooo HOOO!!  Can anyone recommend an ammo that would work great in this rifle?  I know brass cased/copper jacket is best.  Any specific loads/mfgs/bullet weights etc I should pick up?

They like 147 grain.

Steel case works fine as well. Don't be afraid to use it. However while I have not had issues some report the barrel flutes getting gummed up using lacquer coated cases after a lot of use. I've shot plenty of Poly coated Wolf through my 308s with no avail.



However anything should be fine. I have a lot of ZQI and PPU M80 ball ammo which I expect no issues with. I've used Federal XM80c and German DAG surplus with excellent results previously. SG Ammo has some good solid prices on 308/762 right now

PPU M80 works really well in our PTR-91

I found a link to some some affordable ZQI ammo that I think I'll try.ZQ

That will run good but accuracy is inconsistent so don't worry if your groups suck

I read that about the accuracy.  Thought is would be good for the ammo fort.

I've tried Prvi 145 gr. and GGG Lithuanian 147 gr. surplus in mine. Both shot great.

Its definitely good blasting ammo and if you or someone you know reloads 7.62 NATO it has very nice brass

I have shot a bunch of ZQI through my PTR and have to say the brass is MUCH softer then the mil-surp stuff.  The ZQI brass very noticeably forms right into the flutes while ammo like SB Spanish and other surplus barely shows an imprint.

Steel cased ammo works just fine in mine as well.

Whatever steel cased is cheapest is what my PTR eats.

My AR10 hates ZQI as it was shooting a legitimate 10 MOA pattern.  Tried some winchester M80 with the same rifle and the group size dropped to 2 MOA,  That said, my M14 clone shoots the ZQI decently, so, go figure.  

So, based on the PSA pricing on winchester M80 right now, i'd stock up on that over ZQI.  PPU is decent too, but I haven't run a whole lot of that.

Anyone know what the match barrels in the ptr 91 squad carbine likes?     I haven't really shot it much yet.     When I did I burned through some old steel cased I had.        I dont think its available anymore but I have a bunch of ATI ammo
