Best specs on range ammo? American Eagle, Lawman? Ruag? Other? - Page 2

Forgive me if this has already been stated, but "best" implies accuracy - for me - and the only way to know is to find what suits your weapon.

There is no "best" ammo that will suit every firearm. There is certainly "bad" ammo that generally won't shoot well at all, and "match"-classified ammo will probably be more consistent than others, but you can't expect what works well for one will work well for you. Even in the same model/barrel/whatever. You then need to find the lot number of that particular type that works for you.

I may have given the impression that I feel Remington brass is bad, that wasn’t my intention. They’ve just been the only ones I’ve had split on me, but the number that has done so is very very small, maybe two or three in each caliber over the years. I still use and shoot Remmy brass with no concerns, but it’s not my favorite.
