Thread: AR15 Ammo

I think it's loaded on the weaker side too, or uses a slower powder. Only does around 2850fps (from memory) in my 16" tube. I can get that speed with 68gr with my handloads.

Where can I source this ammo you speak of ? .. And in what amounts can you buy ,and rough prices ?
Im in CHCH if that helps me source anything

A gun shop in few weeks would be your best bet

In the cheaper arena I have good success with:

TARGET = Hornady SP 55gr ($1.00 per round)
PLINK = BVAC 55gr FMJ ($0.70 per round)

Both are available cheaper for good volumes or there is also steel case Barnaul which is on par performance wise with BVAC.

In my experience you cant beat reloaders for everyday pricing and deals on bulk purchases as they have looked after my mates and I on a few ocassions now.

One possible option is Auckland members band together to improve purchasing power and we go straight to the distributors as a collective and buy an absolute sh1t load

Anyone tried Tula ammo in their AR's?
Just wanting a cheap ammo for roos. Don't want to loose my good brass chasing those hippityhoppities (re I'm a cheap soab).

Tula is mad underpressure

Cheers Gimp.
You haven't had any stuck cases, FTF or FTE issues?

Nah it's just loaded Soft

Cheers. I might get a box to try.

Just a mention. Gunworks has a new shipment of Hornady 55g SP Brass 50 packs. Worth a look

Nice. I'll have to pop in there.

I hope Hornady will start to produce more of the steel training ammo.........

CRT can get the training ammo when it's around, and as cheap as anywhere else (better than a lot) I heard very soon after xmas.

Does anyone know if any of this is still around? Trademe has gone quiet on it and it seems to be outta stock most places : /

Nope, none, never again, probably

Sometimes it hides
