I've been charged with the task of helping choose the type of ammo to use in our Bushmaster patrol rifles that are coming in. I was wondering what brand, grain, etc. of ammo do other agencies use? Thanks for any input.

Pull some apart and controlweigh cases, powder and projectiles - controlmeasure the cases after firing (if fluted chambers).
Ok, that might be a thorough test, but nonetheless - it'd be the way I'd do it.
Other than that, I'd stick with namebrands of ammo, in the standard hunting-versions available.
Some namebrands have LEO-ammo available - that is usually high grade specialiced ammo that meets LEO/Military needs and specs.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.

Good stuff that's worth checking out.
