I had read in AR15.com that the ideal weight would be 55 gr for my 1:9 twist barrel.
Lever was the only one with any stock a few weeks back. I had called Royal and they said they had no .223 in stock. So I went to Lever to pick up the 45 gr JHP to see how it works. Since I used it for the Tac Rifle match with nothing over 100 yards, they performed really well. In fact, when I zeroed it at 25 meters, they were dead on point of aim.
I did get a 1,000 rnd off Lever with the 55 gr. but when I saw the 45gr at Walmart, I was surprised that they were half the price of Lever.
AR15.com just separates the brand and the reaction of the users which is either in the 'POS' category or 'I love it' category. No data like velocity, if it tumbles at certain feet after it leaves the barrel , or doesnt work with my 1:9 twist barrel etc. Besides, the ammo in the states seems to be a different brand than the ones we have over here. I keep seeing the Winchester Q3131 brand which does not appear in the Lever Winchester 55 grain box.
Any other reaction ?
Thanks for all your reply
