Question on PSA ammo. I'm going to have a Tikka factory SS lite 223 barrel cut and threaded at 16". For ammo, I'm looking at aac 556 75bthp and the aac 556 77tmk.

Do you think I should go ahead and buy a boatload, or should I buy 20 of each and then decide? I know availability has been spotty the last couple years, and I likely won't have my barrel done for a few weeks.
My Tikka shoots the AAC 77TMK load very well. Though the ammo in hand isn't all that impressive....some are a little wonky even to the naked eye. I haven't tried the AAC 75gr offering, but my rifle has done well with other 75gr bthp, 73 eldm, 73 otm, and some others in that realm. I'd gamble on the rifle liking it, personally.

I’ll bet if you get a bunch and your rifle doesn’t like it you could probably get your money back if you sell it when it’s out of stock.
