Most Helpful Positive Review Good Ammo for Home Defense/Target shooting
I have always shot hornady and would defiantly recommend. Expensive, but never fails. Best used for self defense and target shooting. I have shot this stuff through all my AR’s and it performs flawlessly.

Hornady delivers again

by Robear, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on February 24, 2024
I’ve been shooting target grade loads through my AR for years but decided to slow it down a little and step up on the ammo. With a new 18” barrel, trigger and bcg the setup just needed a balanced load. From experience I reached for the Hornady Black and put down 2” groups @100yds and just got better from there. The 62gr bullet in the Black profile is a perfect match for my setup.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • Affordable
  • consistency
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • target
  • Medium game

Excellent ammo

by Joe, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 17, 2024
Hornady Black ammunition is an excellent choice. I've used the 75gr Hornady Black 5.56 SBR ammunition too. I actually would have purchased more of the 75gr 5.56 SBR ammunition but it was out of stock. I have a 5.56 rifle with a 10 inch barrel, and 1:7 twist. I believe that for home defense distances, this ammunition is adequate. I prefer the heavier projectile out of a shorter barreled rifle. Hornady Black isn't cheap ammunition but I shoot about 200 rounds a month or every other month. At my usage rate I buy this ammunition because it is very good quality in my opinion. It does seem to have less flash than other Hornady ammunition. I use a four piece Bulgarian muzzle device that kills the flash quite well, but with Hornady Black, it is virtually nonexistent. If you are looking for a well made, very reliable ammunition, then I think you should purchase a couple of boxes to try for yourself. If you find you like this line of ammunition, then you could feel better about the investment you make when stocking up. The 5.56 SBR ammunition might be hard to find because it gets bought up quickly. The .223 62gr will be fine in my opinion, though not optimized for your SBR.
Pros:
  • Excellent quality & reliability
Cons:
  • More expensive than other alternatives

Favorite for range shootinf

by Nick, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on September 13, 2022
This is my favorite target shooting go to ammo. Absolutely top notch. It was also the cleanest looking brass out of about 5 brands when I took it out. The box it comes in is a perfect package. Each indivdually and neatly held in their own slots. No jams with super smooth shooting. Shot over 300 on the test within 20 minutes. Very nice.
Pros:
  • Accurate
  • budget friendly
  • Packaging
  • Very clean
Cons:
  • Need bulk options
Best Used for:
  • target practice
Would recommend: Yes
