Which .556 to buy in bulk??

[michael.mohr.92317]

There are so many different brands to choose from not sure what has the good ratings and what doesn't. Have a Daniels defense with a 1/7 twist I prefer to buy a 62 grain bullet... So many to choose from, XM193 , M855

PMC XTAC... Any ideas or input on the differences would be great. I'm looking to get about 2000 rounds

In all the years I have been shooting, the Magtech/CBC 5.56 ammo is the best BULK ammo I have encountered. It is FIRST quality 5.56 (not factory seconds made from rejected .mil brass).

Their 62gr is my favorite as it does NOT have the steel core (making it more accurate and allowing you to shoot steel targets without damaging it).

If you are looking to stock up on just one type of ammo I'd go with the M193 loading.

Although not miserably inaccurate, I've found M855 to be lacking in the accuracy department compared to M193 out of a number of rifles.
M193 is also more available and cheaper than M855.

PMC is not bad ammo. It's just weaker than M193. Your Daniel Defense should run it fine if it is a stock carbine gas gun. I'd test it though prior to purchasing 2k of it.

I haven't encountered this before. Interesting.
I know it is out of a 20" barrel but 3,166 fps is pretty strong.
How accurate is it?

I don't own a 20" barrel so I cannot comment. I have shot sub 1MOA groups with it before.

Particular brands/weights can be hard to find and overpriced in today's market. My approach to buying range ammo is to buy the least expensive (brass, not steel) that I can find. Recently, I've used Wolf Gold, PMC, Federal, and Armscor (each at about 0.35/round) and all were okay for blasting at the range.

I would go for the X-TAC. It's a really nicely made round. Don't confused it with PMC Bronze. X-TAC is much faster than Bronze.

For what it's worth, Steel Core does not damage steel targets and is perfectly safe to shoot on steel.... or should I say as safe as shooting any other standard bullet.
