Unless you reload some surplus black tips I don't think you will find a true armor piercing 7.62x51 round. I'm a big fan of the MK 319 mod 0 round, explosive expansion and a nice 55 grain solid copper base to follow up. http://palmettostatearmory.com/mk319-mod-0-7-62mm.html After several water jugs this was recovered; Here is one of the threads here on it; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxlfitness@yahoo.com Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I thought we were all done with thevhate and back to talking ammo. Do we really need to resurrect all this again? So about the 150 gr hornady. Are you saying you want to donate it to me. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol A local SWAT went to the 150gr AMAX a while back. They ordered a bazillion rounds in their first shipment. I’m in good with the sniper team, and they throw me a few boxes when they have a training day. Surprisingly, out of a 6 man team, only one guy on the team is a regular shooter. The rest do their training and don’t care any to shoot on their off time. In their defense, they get PLENTY of training. A “shitton” might be an exaggeration, but I definitely have 300-400 rounds.

sapper299 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have found that the FGMM 175gr shoots like a dream in my Aramalite, 3/4 moa groups with boring regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheNewf Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Ignoring handloads, I've had good results with German NATO 147 grain (MEN or DAG headstamp) milsurp ammo. It's those with the copper/nickel bullet. The target below is me sighting in using this stuff, and then the group is up to the right. Yeah, I pulled one, but seriously....milsurp....giggity. As for store-bought, I've found the Nosler 165gr ballistic tipped ammo (marketed as a hunting round) very good and the Corbon 200gr subsonic FMJ was good stuff as well for suppressed pew-pewing. The Hornady 168gr HPBT match ammo works well, but not as good as that Nosler stuff. All of this ammo has worked well in my bolt and semi-auto 308s. I've got buddies who love the Hornady 'Black' 168gr ammo in their 308s. Edited February 19, 2018 by MarkTheNewf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I love that German mil-surp it use to be cheap. Ran real good in the rifle also for 147 grn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 When we get FGMM at 15/16 a box yes this is the one 168 otm but Privi has their match 168 otm for 14 a box there bouts...and it shoots almost as good in my rifles Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxlfitness@yahoo.com Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 1 hour ago, hunterbob said: 110 gr VMAX 43.2 grs 3031 factory crimp how about some other examples of a more traditional projectile weight. That's pretty lite for some guns and doesn't run well depending on Barrel twist and setup. any other examples of more traditional bullet weight that you guys have also found to be extremely accurate and is this also further dependent upon whether the weapon is a bolt-action or an AR platform type weapon just curious?
