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.

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.

Hornady makes a 77gr duty ammo optimized for SBR rifles.

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"
