Gentlemen, I am looking into a 5.56, and I am wondering if there are any brands to avoid? This will be a CC purchase, only because I strongly feel the need to bolster my defensive capabilities. I originally wanted a .308 platform, even something along the lines of the Ruger Scout, but it just seems that the 5.56 makes more sense from an ammunition and even reloading standpoint. I know I will be giving up stopping power and range, but on the other hand 22 bullets and a pound of powder go a long way in the .223. This is going to happen in the next week or so, any input is greatly appreciated.
