5.45x39 S&W M&P

cramer
What is your opinion on the S&W M&P rifle in a 5.45x39 cal? is it accurate? any trouble feeding? Tumbling? And what kind of ammo? Cheap Russian surplus or better stuff?

Thanks

    I have one of the uppers and while it is cheaper to shoot than a 223, I've had problems with the ogive of the 55 grain hp bullet jamming in the rifling. I've called S&W and they said they would send me material and info so it can be returned. After 2 weeks + it hasn't arrived. I'll call again after the holiday and try again. I have seen fairly good accuracy with Russian commercial ammo- actually better than Russian 223. The Wolf 70 grain is not so good due to the rate of twist in the S&W apparently. Best results but almost as expensive as good 223 is the RWS 59 grain HP. I have some of the surplus ammo but have not shot any because I don't want to clean up after it.
