Over the last few years I’ve read and watched several positive reviews of the ammo (both pistol and rifle) from HPR Ammunition. That being said, I’ve personally had no experience with their ammo. However, with the arrival of the UPS truck yesterday, all that is changing.
To start off, I ordered a few boxes of their .223 ammunition. I should point out that they actually produce a wide variety of .223 ammo, so check out their site to find the load that fits your needs. Below is what I picked out.
