Best factory ammo for AR10 Target AND Hunting?
- Thread starter metalfarm
- Start date
Plain old Remington 150 core-lock, Hornady Black (168 amax) , Hornady 178 ELDX precision hunter all shot good out of my LMT. MOA or better, usually.
I use the core-lock for pig if I’m specifically hunting them as I tend to blast them while walking about in the farm. And I’ll fire a bunch of rounds until I see no more running animals.
However, the Hornady has way less POI deviation than the Remington in my particular weapon when I go from unsuppressed to suppressed.
As stated, you have to experiment to see what your toy prefers.

I’ve shot the Norma 130’s at deer and paper. I just switched to Hornady 140gr American Gunner. That’s what I plan to use for now shooting matches and hunting deer/pigs.
I would recommend:
- Federal Gold Medal 175gr Sierra Matchking
- Hornady TAP Precision 168gr BTHP
- Hornady TAP Precision 168gr A-Max
- Black Hills Gold 168gr Barnes TSX
For practice, look at the Prvi Partizan M80 .308. It's all NATO spec.
Good site for this stuff is Palmetto State Armory.

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Bullet Review
Federal's recently introduced Terminal Ascent bullet could very well prove to be the best all-around hunting bullet made by anyone.
