Any consensus on the best type of factory ammo to feed the Tavor?

[Tikka223]

I hit the range today and blasted off some Winchester white box 55gr FMJ ammo using my 4-16x50 Viper PST and found that the groups were in the 3-4 MOA range. I'm sure the trigger is a major variable in the less than stellar accuracy.

What has everyone been running for decently grouping factory ammo out there?

Every barrel is different. You'll just have to keep trying different types till you find something your's likes. Best results I've heard of were from handloads of course. Try something different and see what happens.

The tavor prefers heavy grains 62 and 75 work great for mine

I already hand load for my precision rifles and I'll take the time to find a decent load for deer. I was thinking more in terms of finding a go too ammo for shooting cans at the pit or whatever.

Never had any issues with American Eagle black box when I had my Tavor.

I've used nothing but 55gr PMC XTAC w great accuracy and zero failures.

Where do you find this stuff?

Hornady VMAX 55 gives me 1.75 MOA consistently, heavy grains were horrible for me.

Hirsch Precision has Lapua factory ammo. Not cheep, but it is the best.

62 gr

There is a Tavor review somewhere here that goes into some pretty good detail on ammo and is consistent with Leviathan's findings.

I am on my tablet atm and searching / cutting and pasting links is a pita.

Been using MFS 62gr SP and it's been pretty good. 3ish moa? Havn't been measuring groups. Heavy trigger and running an EOTech so groups at 100 yards aren't going to be stellar one way or the other.
