I guess no one likes that ammo...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Right now if you can get it better buy it..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

No Winchester, but I keep 'green tip' on hand.
It's not the top shelf like Black Hills 77gr TMK, but it's still good serviceable ammo, made for the AR.
In this climate, I wouldn't hesitate if you need some ammo, and you are willing to pay the asking price.

Considering the situation. If it's at an acceptable price, buy it.

I guess no one likes that ammo... Depends on where you shoot, some ranges with built up backstops won’t allow it - shooting in the back 40 acres, no issue. An occasional rifle will not like it in the accuracy department, had one that would not group it, period. That was an exception and not the norm. But - I agree with group, if it’s a good price, get it.

Depends on what you need your ammo to do. It’s not the most accurate but it will def go bang.
If you need it and you can get it, you’d better.
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

Winchester M855 would be my last choice of 5.56 green tips if accuracy was even a passing consideration.
IMI would be my first choice, Federal/Lake City second.
55 gr fmj M193 is almost all ways more accurate and actually out penetrates green tips out to 200 yards anyway.
