John Bruh Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just got it last night. DPMS Mini Sass 556. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/9t1tsi/55ab3c8e.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/9t1tsi/4499cd7b.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/9t1tsi/d8243b46.jpg And the DPMS FAMILY http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/9t1tsi/d4537059.jpg Now this is my first 556 gun. Where is the best place to get the cheapest plinking rounds that are fairly accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmr95b Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Nice, but those sights weird me out. I'll stick with MBUS and Troy. I shoot Privi M193, fairly cheap, but also nicely powerful and accurate. If I am feeling dirty I'll burn some Wolf :bangbang: I use http://www.ammunitiontogo.com for decent prices, but ARFCOM keeps the most up-to-date list with prices for 5.56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Cheap and fairly accurate? Fail. You can get shit wolf or brown bear for around $200/1000, at either palmetto state armory or aimsurplus (or most places). I only see 4-6moa if that. The PMC x-tac is pretty solid right now, AIM or Palmetto have it for about $330/1000. People have been seeing pretty good groups out of it- around 2moa and it has decent brass too. You need to get yourself some SMKs and see how it will REALLY shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 What's the twist on the barrel? I'm partial to shooting American Eagle XM193 5.56mm for cheap plinking rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Get Brown Bear from Cheaperthandirt.com for plinkin. It's about $.25/rnd; I've never seen .223 cheaper anywhere. I've shot about 600 rounds of it without a single problem, but it is noticeably weaker than M193. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 fluted barrell, 1x8 twist Personally I consider cheap ammo to be like cheap gas. Do you really want some inferior junk running through a rifle you just dropped over $1K on? American Eagle XM193 is no more than $9/Box or 20 rounds. A 55grain round would be perfect to run through it to break in. I'm acquiring a small stash of Sierra match king 77 grain 5.56mm. Can't wait to shoot it personally.

Get some quality ammo and some quality glass for it and you'll have yourself a decent plinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 This. Get some quality ammo and some quality glass for it and you'll have yourself a decent plinker. Speaking of decent glass, I've been hearing great reviews from Trijicon's AccuPoint series and some of the Nightforce optics. Either way, just like with the ammo, that rifle will only really be as good as the glass that sits atop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Look for some 55 grain Portuguese military surplus. It used to be cheap and plentiful, now it's harder to find but it shoots great. Headstamp is FNM and will likely be from the 80's. I shot this 5 round group at 50 yds using a basic 16" AR15. It did have a free-float front grip/rail, but was otherwise military spec. Nice group for military surplus!! http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k239/jjjxlr8/AR15/FiveShots_July2010_M4_50yds.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
