For hunting or for practice?I have been having pretty good success with the AAC 77gr OTM. It goes on sale pretty regularly for .55 cpr.

Apologies, should have been more specific. Just for practice so far, haven’t tried to kill anything with them yet.For hunting or for practice?
All good. I’ve been eyeing the AAC stuff so I was curiousApologies, should have been more specific. Just for practice so far, haven’t tried to kill anything with them yet.
Mostly been using 73 ELD-M for hunting.
On sale now for that price, but by the box only. No cases available. That’s a pretty good deal. I’ve used the 75 gr Hornady Frontier for range ammo in the past, but it seems hard to get now.I have been having pretty good success with the AAC 77gr OTM. It goes on sale pretty regularly for .55 cpr.
I just had my tikka .223 cut to 16 1/2” and the smith said he could go 5/8 but I already had a 9/16 tbac adapter so I went that route.Did you need the adapter to get 1/2” or did you go 5/8”?
I have a compact inbound and was planning to cut to 16” and thread 1/2”
everything I’ve had threaded lately is 1/2x28. The reflex on my AB Raptor is 5/8”, but I just use one of their adapters.I just had my tikka .223 cut to 16 1/2” and the smith said he could go 5/8 but I already had a 9/16 tbac adapter so I went that route.
I was planning on adding an asr brake so I could go either route. I was going to go 1/2” out of habit for 22 calsI just had my tikka .223 cut to 16 1/2” and the smith said he could go 5/8 but I already had a 9/16 tbac adapter so I went that route.
I don’t think I’ve seen them offer it by the case, could be wrong though. I normally order 1K at a time and it comes as a case in the original box, no mixed lot #’s or anything.On sale now for that price, but by the box only. No cases available. That’s a pretty good deal.

I know it’s been covered in the past, but I imagine there shouldn’t be any issue with shooting 556 ammo out of a tikka 223?I have been having pretty good success with the AAC 77gr OTM. It goes on sale pretty regularly for .55 cpr.
I do it.I know it’s been covered in the past, but I imagine there shouldn’t be any issue with shooting 556 ammo out of a tikka 223?
No issues. I do it all the time.I know it’s been covered in the past, but I imagine there shouldn’t be any issue with shooting 556 ammo out of a tikka 223?

Interesting, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. We’ll see how the aac stuff handles in my rifle.In a factory tikka i've had sticky bolt lift with various 556 ammo. To me that is an issue, others seem to live with it.
I recently tried out the AAC 77 gr OTM and the 75 gr. BTHP and the 75 grainers were much more accurate in my Tikka.On sale now for that price, but by the box only. No cases available.

I tried the AAC 75 gr blacktip over the weekend. They were 2.5” for a 20 round group. BH 77gr TMK and a couple other loads were easily an inch tighter in terms of groups, but we’re more than double the cost. Reasonable practice ammo for a reasonable cost, but I would stick to the black hills for anything with hair.I recently tried out the AAC 77 gr OTM and the 75 gr.
