    Another for 64 grain Gold Dots. I keep a few mags loaded with the CBC MK262 load too from a few years ago before 50 cent per round PSA free shipping yata yata yata dried up.

    I bought enough of the Gold Dots to last me for the foreseeable future since it was 50 cents per round shipped.

    Same for me with Gold Dots, whatever weight I can find for a decent price - it's a PIA to find the good stuff in 5.56 at a reasonable price and .223 GD seems to have good ballistics. All of my guns are 14.5 pinned or 16 - not sure how the 75gr load behaves out of an SBR.

    I have adopted IMI mk262. I have no experience with the 77 OTM bullet on flesh. But on paper it performs as advertised.

    Gold dot and fusion look to be the best mix of price/performance. Stash some, keep some loaded, practice with a little and forget it. Stash 193 and shoot the crap out of it.

    Otms have proven very effective. So have bonded rounds.

So I have the fragmenting T2 round and the bonded soft points for barrier performance. Anyone think there's better choices out there than these particular 2 loads?? I know the Black Hills 50 grain TSX is another great load but is even more expensive than the 2 kinds of ammo I chose. Just want to know what round is the most devastating according to other AR15 owner s here??-

    64gr Gold Dot. Buy the crap out of it when it's on sale.

    I don't know if I'm just a cheap bastard or overly optimistic, but M193 - use it for practice and social purposes. I rationalize I won't have to worry about shifts in POI or functioning, but the fact is it's a step up from the handgun I would normally and usually be relying on.

    Lots of great choices in this thread, though, certainly can't argue with that.

    Well I'm new to the AR15. I just have an AK74 and 10 months ago got my first AR a Colt LE6920. Just didn't want to buy green tips for self defense. I recently heard about the Speer Gold Dot and they are much cheaper than the soft points that I recently purchased. Maybe I'm gonna buy a thousand rounds of Gold Dots as I don't have superior wealth right now. The Aimpoint Pro is not needed because my Holisun 503C is pretty impressive. I don't hear many guys having problems with that red dot.
