My research indicates that FMJ ammo from a 10.5 barreled AR will provide optimum stopping power at a maximum of 10 meters, as the bullet needs between 2500 and 2700 ft/second velocity to do the job.
The best advertised performance in a 10 inch or longer barrel is Speer Gold Dot .223 ammo, which they advertize as being effective to 200 meters.
Federal Fusion ammo is supposed to be nearly identical and is marketed as deer hunting ammo. It is a soft point ammo with the copper case bonded to the core.
I picked up 2 boxes at Wholesale Sports at about $23/box to try it out.
What ammo, available in Canada, do you think will work best in your Short Barreled Rifle, if you needed it for something other than putting holes in paper?
