Ammo recommendations?

Recommended Posts

So I just bought a Tavor and am looking for ammo recommendations just for plinking some targets and basic shooting. I'm not looking for top of the line stuff, but I also don't want to shoot a crappy round. Anyone have a preference as far as .223, 5.56, grains, etc for the Tavor? Thank you.

It will eat anything you put in it.  I have shot everything from wolf steel to pmc to xm855 to hand loads.  If you want good cheap brass case look for pmc bronze.  

 

I have about 900rds down the pipe and not a single malfunction of any kind.

I've been trying to work up loads experimenting with various powders/and grn of bullets/powders......for accuracy etc.......but have also shot cheap factory 55&62 grain stuff and it functions fine...accuracy ..ehhh combat effective...but wouldnt use for precision stuff.......do you reload?

with the pmc I was getting about 2" groups at 100yds sitting at the bench but without the rifle supported.  I was happy with that all things considered.  With the reloaded ammo I was getting sub 1" groups at 100yds.  I had to concentrate really hard to do that though.

Thanks for the help guys. I have a few boxes of PMC bronze now so I guess I can stick with that. pjd, I don't reload. At least not yet. How about you?

Yes sir....if you want one jagged hole...you'll be hard pressed to do it with factory loaded ammo...without paying big$.... You can reload very accurate 223 for the price of cheap factory loaded
