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?

Thanks Blake, I'm looking forward to heading out to the range now

Found this on the Firearm Blog this AM. Found the ammo on Gun Bot for $339/case (1K rounds).

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

I'll have to start looking into it for sure. My brother-in-law reloads his own. I could probably use his tools and learn about it.
