I am looking to stock up on defensive ammo (i.e., expanding soft point ammo - NOT FMJ) for 7.62x39, 7.62x51 and 5.56x45.
Since I am going to buy in bulk, and this is for semi-auto military style rifles, and I don't need the ammo to be MOA as most of the rifles will not be capable of that precision - I am looking for the best value while having some reliability.
I am leery of Tula/Wolf/et. al. as while they may always go bang, I am not sure of their projectiles being what they say they are. I have seen and experienced more than one instance of those manufacturers providing ammo that they claim is 'soft point'/et. al., when it isn't; it may have an exposed lead point but the jacket is bi-metal, thick and hard - it might as well be FMJ as it does not expand.
So I was looking at PPU ammo which seems to have actual expanding projectiles.
I was wondering if this is ammo I can trust?
