Seeking Opinions on AAC Ammo

I’ve been considering trying out AAC (Advanced Armament Company) ammunition for some of my outdoor shooting activities, but I’ve come across mixed reviews. I wanted to see if anyone here has firsthand experience with AAC ammo and could share their thoughts on its performance.

Things I’m Curious About:

  • Accuracy: How well does AAC ammo perform in terms of hitting targets? Is it consistent?
  • Reliability: Have you experienced any misfires or jams while using AAC ammo?
  • Recoil: How does the recoil compare with other brands? Is it manageable?
  • Price vs Quality: Is it worth the price, considering the quality?

What Activities Do You Use It For?

I primarily do target shooting, but I’m also considering it for hunting. Have any of you used AAC ammo in these scenarios? Any specific recommendations or warnings?

Your Experiences Matter

I would really appreciate any detailed feedback that you can provide. Personal experiences, pro tips, or even links to resources would help me and others make informed decisions before making a purchase.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
