HSM 223 ammo
« on: June 27, 2013, 07:55:20 PM »
Is this any good?  Will it hurt my AR15?

I ahve access to a ton of this ammo and I am wondering if I should pick some up.

Don't know about the AR15 part, but I know a lot of people who's rifles drive tacks with the stuff.  :dunno:

It's excellent.
Their 77gr MatchKing ammo is amazing.
Maybe you could PM me with the whereabouts....

Can't really think of anything that will hurt your AR... Most of what I shoot for recreation is wolf, the good wolf not the lacquer coated stuff... For anything else I will upgrade to better ammo... But as long as you take care of your rifle not a whole lot that will do much harm. 

Some of the stuff they make is amazing, especially the match stuff.  You start getting into their bulk stuff it can be good plinking ammo, but you won't be winning any precision matches.

As long as its brass you should be fine.  My dad has used hsm for years with no problems.  Steel cases supposably could wear faster.

 I shoot steel case almost exclusively, never had any wear issues...
