Thread: AR15 Ammo

Tried some Tula 55gr HP through the AR last weekend.
Got the last packet from Gunshitty. They reckon they won't be getting anymore for at least 2 years or so due to demand and production ability.

Unless I did head shots the roos didn't drop. the few I found (bullet riddled I might add) had through and throughs. Seemed the HP weren't opening up on impact on the soft wobblies.
Might try opening up the HP a tad and see what it does.
Also found the POI of the Tula is way different to the SP 55gr reloads I have used. I was holding under approx 2" to hit anything.

I've found that Tula is generally pretty shit. Actually all Russian .223 I've tried has been shit. I think once the local supply of .223 has dried up the AR's will be pretty quiet for a few years for those who don't hand load. I wonder how much our .223 consumption has risen with the rise of the AR in NZ? Sika show before last me an FletchNZ talked to Steve from Steve's Wholesale who said they had imported and sold over half a million rounds of Hornady Training Ammo at the time. I guess that isn't really a big number if you think of 500 people shooting 1000 rounds each, I've probably done 1200 myself.

yea Iv found I just shoot less when there is less ammo avialble
on a good note I shot well under a inch group with a friends NEA with Steller&bellmont at 100m
he didnt know his gun was that accurate
