In my SBR "Mutt" (Bushmaster lower, 10.5" LMT upper, BCM M16 BCG) I have Hornady TAP 75gr in mine as my home defense ammo.
What ammo is in your AR currently?

Herter's 62 grain hollow-point.
Nothing chambered (ar is not used for hd) but there is some mags full of silver bear on a shelf in the safe. That's what I use for plinking

Nothing in mine either. They are sitting in the safe. If things go real bad I have a few mags loaded up with SS109.

Me too! Should've bought more when I had the chance...
55 gr. LC 09
That was a good year.
Nice bouquet with a slight lingering after taste.
I've reloaded a lot of that vintage with outstanding results.

I keep 2 mags loaded with Black Hills 77 grain otm for my SCAR 16. The AR15 doesn't get out much anymore.
A couple mags of each, 55gr XM193 FMJ, 62gr Tula HP, 62gr Fiocchi FMJ

M855. I Have some mags of 75gr 5.56 TAP loaded & ready to go. But it's just not cost effective to stock up on.
While I don't have anything chambered in either of my AR's, I do have a few PMags ready to go. I have 2 Foilage Green 20 rounders full of Hornday75gr TAP. One OD green 30 rounder full of Whinchester 62gr green tip penatrators and a few black 30 rounders full of Federal XM193 55gr.
However my AR's aren't my go to guns for home defense. My Glock 23 has 16 rounds of 165gr Speer Gold Dots and my 870 Police has 6 rounds of Federal Flight Control 9 pellet 00 Buck...I figure if I can't handle any bump in the night with those two then I have made a serious tactical error...

.223 75gr TAP. Hard to do much better, IMO. Wish I could find the 5.56 version.

I have 3 - 30rd Pmags loaded with Hornaday 75gr TAP FPD. One mag is in the rifle in the safe, empty chamber, hammer forward, the other two close by. I also have another 10 or so mags loaded with 55gr M193 and 62gr M855. I don't consider my ARs home defense weapons but i still like to have them ready just in case.
3 mags-62g mk318 sost
3 mags-75g tap
Federal XM193
3 Pmags fully loaded.......
Me 3.
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would pay $1 a round for ammo, given the performance of M193.

Right now, my reloads 25.5 ww748 with a Sisk 60gr tjhp. They are death on coyotes, got 1 yesterday with this load. 26 so far with my RR.
Still dreading that my RockRiver is going to break.

No love for mk318 ammo?
No love for the price. For that money, I'd rather be feeding my SCAR 17s.

75 gr TAP, my families life is worth a dollar (most days, even more).
STI, don't hold your breath, a very good friend of mine has no idea how many rounds he has through his RR, never a hiccup. He also bought a RR 1911 that I've tried to trade him for several times.

Imi 193
Teecher45 a RR 1911 is about as good as you are going to find, I know a friend thhs has 1, its very nice, he found it in a pawn shop the owner had it mixed up with Rock Island 1911's and he literally stole it. It is on par with my STI,Wilson and Swenson.
My RR ar is still going as of today, we got 2 crows this am with it, I love that EOTech. An odd thing about it is almost everything I shoot in it hits close to my zero but some LC 193 all groups to the right 1 ", very tight group but always to the right.
