For home/recreational use: 55gr or 62gr?
OK, let me clarify:
I'm looking to buy a bunch of ammo for my AR (16" bbl, 1in9 twist), primarily for targets/plinking at <300m range.
For the range, accuracy would be the most desirable attribute. And while I have no intent of ever using this as a home defense/emergency hunting rifle; if the need arose which bullet would suit my needs better? 55gr or 62gr?
I realize there are better target rounds and better HD rounds but I'm really looking for a "one and done" cartridge. Something that's not super expensive and something I can zero my rifle to once and then forget about.
Anyone here do the same thing? Favor a particular cartridge of the two? Particular brands?
Thanks.
