6.8mm ammo

That is one of the benefits of 6.8 mm--you can have a 5.56 mm upper set-up for training and an identical duty/go-to-war upper 6.8 mm upper that uses the same ergonomics, web-gear, and accessories...

Of course. I still have to stock pile two types of ammo, mags and upper.


I would just as soon shoot .22LR for training and keep the 556 for serious use. The Black Dog Mags fit in the same pouches that AR mags do and ammo is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Probably makes sense for some folks--for others who get 5.56 mm free at work or via the supply system, then .22 LR training does not make as much sense as using 5.56mm...

Can you buy quality 556 ammo at the local gun stores? I was going to buy .223 77 grain type ammo, but 556 might be a tad bit better.

Depends on the gun store. We generally stock all forms of Hornady LE TAP and BH's 77gr ammo.

We also stock the Hornady TAP Practice and PRVI 75gr ammo.

So yes, you can find high quality ammo for AR's.
