As I recall you're a fan of the Fusions. Given your street creds , if you could pick ONE 5.56mm round, be it for GWOT or domestic use, what would it be?
I had a few hundred of the Silver State Armory 70 grain TSX that you're describing but they popped primers when shooting from my 16" BCM. Never had an issue, before or since, with that rifle with dozens of different types of rounds. They had me send what was left back and said they found nothing wrong with them but I never bought them again.
