    77 grain 5.56 black hills

    first question: anyone know where to get this ammo in Canada?
    second question: does anyone know if it stands up to the hype?
    Never get out of the boat. Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you were goin' all the way.

    What exactly would the "hype" be?
    All that is necessary for trolls to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.

    the hype is that it has remarkable accuracy at 300-500 yard range, and could in fact be a great alternative to 6.8, 6.5, and .308

    i think 5000 rounds is the maximum you can take from Canada to the U.S.
    but there are a few other hoops to jump through

    Yes it is very accurate. During the SPR course I attended last October we used Black Hills red box 77gr. ammo and we were making hits 800M and beyond. I think the furthest was 900.
