    Sbr duty ammo

    Looking into purchasing some duty ammo for our sbr’s. I’ve done a. Search but can’t seem to find anything. We shoot 10.5-12” .223/5.56. Something that is accurate and barrier bind for use around windshields and vehicles What’s out there?

    Fusion MSR/Gold Dot 62/64gr and Black Hills 5.56 50Gr TSX is where I would begin my search. Black Hills 5.56 70gr TSX optimized is also a hot choice. “The Chopping Block” youtube channel has some reduced velocity gelatin tests.

    Federal Tactical 62gr Bonded in .223.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    From what I have seen, all of those are good choices -- I tend to like the extra velocity of the 5.56 loads, however, and that would certainly hold for a SBR. Let me know if you are interested in the 50 gr. TSX.

    Debatable. That stuff is under powered which limits its effective range even. Reduced velocity combined with an already short barrel is a suspect combination.

    Grant, do you have any ballistic specs on this stuff? Looks like a great option

    I have found the Gold Dot 75 to be much more accurate in my guns than both the 64gr GD and Hornady 75 TAP SBR. Here's one example - Daniel Defense 10.75" bbl, 4x optic, avg 3 groups of 10rds @ 100yds.
    Gold Dot 64: 2287, 3.6"
    Gold Dot 75: 2183, 1.1"
    Hdy-SBR 75: 2226, 3.0"
