What 5.56 round do you have in your AR15 rifle??

[ghostly]

I run standard, Federal M855, 62 grain green tip. My AR is not my primary HD rifle as I keep a GI M1 Carbine for that role, loaded with soft points. If I need to get out the AR things have gone horribly wrong.

Why the M1 Carbine? Why not start prepared for when things have "gone horribly wrong"?

Myself, I will bring out the best I've got. Anytime you have to pull out a weapon for self-defense, things of gone horribly wrong so I don't get what you're saying here. Weird

What does an M1 carbine do for me then AR15 won't? I don't even see the logic. If that's all you have then yes the M1 carbine is a great weapon but it does nothing that the AR15 can do.

I couldn't even imagine the mindset of "I am going to use my hi-point carbine unless things go horribly wrong. In that case I will pull out my M4"

Arguably the best all around round made. Great through glass, expands fast and great penetration. Holds together well. Great through short barrels and expand at very low velocities. Tough to beat this round.

Yeah a lot of good rounds in 5.56. Fusion is ammo I would buy.

A lot of people underestimate the M1 carbine. Not me with jsp bullets!

Who does? Very good gun but not even in the same League as an AR15. Are you actually trying to compare the 2? If that's all you have then it is good but it's a laughable comparison. In fact stupid. So let's get back on track.

One more addition. 30 Carbine balistically isn't even close to the 5.56mm. At 100 yards the 30 carbine has 600 foot pounds of energy left. A 5.56mm has about 1,000. 30 carbine is pretty much a pistol bullet. It doesn't compare to a rifle bullet.

Works well on 4 legged creatures. Think it has been discontinued though. I have a 100-200 rounds left.

Dead right there, 70 gr TSX

Buzzkill: At the end of the day, a lot of this is just academic with the differences down in the weeds. Small deforming projectiles delivered at high velocities will all do some destructive things. Time spent on what's best...for what, when, and from what...is usually better spent taking whatever ammo you have and practicing its delivery. An X grain magic bullet isn't of any use if you suck.

While that may be true, I've seen perfect shots with sub-par bullets or the wrong bullet for the job fail.

I agree. TAP and other ballistic tip type rounds have failed miserably in Law Enforcement shootings due to lack of penetration and or through glass or doors. Bullet choice can make the difference. I also agree that you better be good at shooting the rounds or it doesn't matter which round you have.

LE criteria is different in this respect, barriers are a factor in their selection process. If you know your ammo, you should know both its' capabilities and limitations. For barrier without barrier blind in the rifle, switch to sidearm.
