Thread: Best Factory Ammno for a Norinco M305/M14 Clone

Assuming you have the factory bolt with the overly generous headspace then stay away from stellar and bellot with its thin brass. Reloaded ex military brass is probably best. Also soft points used to get mashed going through the action is mine so Sierra 165 hpbt game kings worked the best. Something with a plastic tip would also work.

Interesting... Yes it's all factory receivers/barrel/internals however I have an aftermarket bolt release, gas plug etc fitted to a Blackfeather stock. I'll avoid the soft points and stick to plastic tips & MilSurps FMJ's.
