I recently purchased my first AR and have been testing out a few different types of plinking ammo to see what my gun likes the best. Lucky for me, it seems to like everything. I would like to test some 'high quality' rounds to see the difference compared to the cheap stuff. I just purchased some Black Hills MK 262 Mod 1 OTM and am excited to test these out. Are there any of brands or specific rounds that would be recommended?

Since you specified "plinking", then I'd be shooting the same reloads I shoot now. I don't see the point in sending more of my money down the barrel to punch a hole in paper or a tin can when what I have now works fine.

Sorry if my post was confusing. I'm not looking for 'high quality' ammo for plinking, I just want to test out a box or two. When I go out and shoot targets for fun I'm going to continue using the cheapest brass round I can find.Originally Posted by CrazyFingers

Black hills mk262? I've got a 1/7 twist so id love to shoot 70+ grains all day to see if i can see a big difference but i cant afford it.

I would find a way to get the 5.56, "Optimized" "Brown Tip" that we hear about. If that didn't pan out I would buy barrels full of Stan Chen Custom's ASYM 70g Barnes TSX ammo.
Would be nice to practice, train, plink and fight if necessary, with the same ammo.

No doubt about that.
If I struck it rich, I'd buy that for 308 and 223 by the pallet and never look back.

Someday, I hope to arrive at the point that I can simply order a single sku of premium defensive/duty/hunting ammo to shoot for each caliber, for all purposes.
