That is great news as I just bought a SR556 about a month ago and my favorite load is the Hornady TAP 55gr! I'm still messing with furniture toys, scope choice etc.
Can't believe I haven't gone to the range with it yet even to shoot with the BUIS... must be getting old or disciplined. Waiting for cooler weather actually...
I will say that the trigger was horrible: 5+ lbs on a scale and sloppy. No problem.... $30 later my gunsmith (local cop)had it at a sweet 3.5 lb and clean breaking. Typical as my two Model 77 Rugers required trigger jobs too.
