so I was lucky enough to buy an AR the day before Thanksgiving as an early Christmas present to myself.
I've never owned one before, knew I wanted one and just happened to go ahead and buy a RRA EO 2 on the way to the range with my kids. I had been looking at it for a while and it seemed to have the majority of the options I wanted without spending a bunch buying the different options.
bought a few hundred rounds when I got it of the 55 gr Hornady SP, one PMag and one 5 rd. the kids and I had a blast and was suprised how accurate it was out to 50 yds with open sights.
Now the dilemma, with all the frantic buying, I'm not sure what I should spend my limited fundage on and what I shouldn't even bother looking at. I definately want more ammo but hunting ammo and I'm unsure of what I'm best searching for. So what grain/brand/bullet type should I be looking for that some of y'all hunt with. What other options should I be focused on. With having 2 30 rd mags and a 5, that's enough for me for now as it will mainly be for fun at the range for me and the kids and limited hunting (deer and hog) for me.
I've got plenty of scoped long guns so a scope will be in the long term plan but for now I only plan on using this for short range hunting, I was pleased enough to keep it the way it is for now when I put 5 rds in silver dollar sized group at 50 yds with the factory sights.
I've looked at a few of the forums but will start local, help a AR newbie out in the frenzy....what do I need to be searching for while it's still available?
