Gun and gear reviews .225/5.56
Looking at buying some bulk ammo. Is there a brand to stay away from or which is better than the rest? Gonna be used for plinking and shit.

55c per round is a fucking steal. I've bought most of mine at 0.60/Rd (PMC) and was pretty happy with that price. Noticed this deal on Tenda this week too.
I've bought a few boxes of the STV stuff and it was fine. For cheap plinking ammo my favourite is PMC Bronze 223, my MVP Patrol and my Troy SAR both shoot it very nicely.
STV was good, id still buy it for the price, but my rifle didn't quite like it as much, but it also uses a 1:9 twist. In my 16" 1:9 MVP Patrol, PMC does shoot a bit better but not a huge difference
