Federal American Eagle 55 gr FMJ.
I use some of the heavy match stuff, but even the reman is too expensive to stock in a large quantity. So if I was limited to commercial ammo for my main stockpile (not specialty ammo), then American Eagle would be what I'd buy in bulk. |

actually its not general its very to the point.... and i read the oracle and its info on the ammo types i am requesting info on is very general as far as the info iam looking for.... i want to know what you"the masses" would use if milspec wasnt avaliable... pretty straight forward to me...... |

Well let me turn it around on you then. If you've read the Oracle, and are planning on stocking in any quantity at all, why would you NOT buy milspec ammo? |

That's true. I've made the same search as you, but I always keep coming back to milspec simply because of the price. I was just curious. Be interesting to see what you find out, but I suspect if money is an issue at all you'll find a dead end. I did anyway

As originally asked by ops144: if ya couldnt get mill spec ammo what would ya buy?
Black Hills. And to boot, the question was posted in the AR15-Ammunition Forum. (I've learned to read more carefully lately...) |
