What is currently loaded in your AR Bang Stick for immediate use should the SHTF kick off at this very moment?
Vote for your AR ammunition choice or list it here if you use Hand Loads or another caliber such as the 7.62x39mm, 7.62x51mm, 6.8, Etc.
Also what is the reason for your choice and are you planning to switch caliber or ammo out in the near future.
IMI M855.
I would like something a little more exotic, but the price of some of those flavors is scary. It would cost me over a 100.00 just to make sure I felt happy with it functioning in my rifle.
M855 for me as well. In addition, all sidearms are carrying Gold Dots.
Q3130 147 grain.
I had a friend give me 400 rnds of 75 gr Hornady TAP, so that’s my go to stuff for rifle.
Pistols are loaded with Win. Ranger sxt’s.
I have mine loaded with Speer Gold Dot LE 55 grain 5.56. It seems like a good defense load for Home defense etc. For the range I just shoot Federal M193 55 gr 5.56
Rifle ammo - cheapest brass cased ammo, right now 55gr PMC
Pistol ammo - cheapest brass cased ammo, right now 115gr 9mm Aguila
Rifle = Mk 262 Mod 1 5.56mm
Pistol = Black Hills 180gr .40 S&W JHP
Mk318 Mod 0 SOST. I’ll probably switch to a more effective load the next time I rotate my duty ammo stock. Probably 64gr Gold Dot, Federal XM556FBIT3 or one of the 50gr barnes TSX loadings.
168/175 gr. 7.62x51
Black Hills 50 grain TSX

I have some Hornady TAP loaded.
Hornady 123 gr SST stacked with GT 124 gr FMJ BT 7.62x39mm.
Mk318, but my local shop doesn’t carry it anymore so I may search for a replacement now
Some mags have XM855 and some have my own 55gr reloads with a decent hunting round.
Up until last week the AR was loaded with 55 gr Hornady Vmax. Now it’s loaded with whatever brass cased 55gr FMJ’s I have. I’ll probably pick up some flavor of Hornady TAP soon.
The Glock is loaded with 124gr Golden Sabers and the HK is loaded with 124gr Hydra Shoks.
My house AR is also loaded with M855. Main reason, like others I can’t currently afford something more exotic. I do have some Hornady Steel match 55gr HP, but I don’t feel it would be more effective, even though it does group very well at distance.
As far as pistols, My 9mms are loaded with Golden Saber 147gr and will be testing some Gold Dot 147gr to see which runs better in my Glock and Beretta.
In my TRP I currently have it loaded with Hornady TAP, but just got some Ranger T 230gr that will be replacing it once I hit the range to function test the ammo.
AR: MK318 Mod 0 SOST
Pistol: Winchester Ranger 147gr JHP. Considering changing to Federal Hydroshocks but only have one box right now.
5.56mm and 9mm are my calibers of choice. Hornady 75gr TAP in the carbine, and 147gr Rangers or 147gr Federal HST’s in the glocks.
If I need more range and punch (and have the opportunity) out comes the scoped .30-06 with 168gr CoreLoks.
M193
Speer Gold Dots in my revolvers and pistols.
