buying bulk ammo

wvruger · 03-10-2010, 11:26 AM

Im looking at making a bulk ammo purchase, what do you all like in your mini 14's, looking at remington umc, Fiocchi, pmc. What do you all like and what does your mini like?

Mine likes anything in 62 grn the best. I've bought everything you mentioned and then some in bulk, and never really had any complaints. I know I'm liable to get jumped for this, but Wolf FMJ 62 grain seemed to shoot as well as any if not better. It uns a little dirtier, but my Mini's have eaten a few thousand rounds of it over the years, and never burped.

a mini will eat just about anything you can feed it. it depends more on if it is a plinker shooting a 3-4 inch group or you want a percission shooter

I use brown bear 62 gn hp in my mini its shoots into an inch and goes bang every time its also cheap.I also clean my gun every time i shoot it seems to leave more soot then most but doesnt hurt anything not corrosive wolf also shoots an average of 1to 1 1/2 inch at 100 yards great for coyotes.

I ran both Remington and Winchester 55gr FMJ through mine Monday and it shot both well.

I will be using my rifle for plinking, coyotes, and groundhogs around the farm.

Stay away from the Wolf steel cased. It seems the primers are extremely hard and will break a firing pin. It seems to happen mostly in the Mini 30 and not the .223's. kwg
