ive been running factory reloads lately since ive been shooting a lot $170 for 1K rounds

no issues after about 3K rounds i think

funny thing is during a match some guy bought Walmart WWBs and he had 2 squibs

I remember looking into USA Ammo once. I was thinking about getting their .223/5.56 but then started reading about ARs blowing up left and right.

My boss and I blocked a few hours off on the calendar next Tuesday to go get him a 1911. Hopefully this will include a quick trip to the range on the way back to the office.

I just buy M193 from whoever. It's about $350/1K right now, and that extra bit of money is worth it to keep my rifles together. No gunshow reloads for me.

I might be taking a defensive handgun class in August.

I want to do a basic carbine class but that's going to wait 'til next year.

I generally use PMC Bronze in .223 as range and course ammo. I do note that the price disparity between that and M193 seems to be narrowing. PSA looks to have PMC X-TAC 55gr in 5.56 for that $350 price point. Something to consider.

I just bought a bunch of their X-TAC. They are doing free shipping again (for a while they weren't) so I jumped on it while it lasts.

Also noticed that Cheaper Than Dirt has the Bronze .223 you mentioned for under $6/box, granted they do charge a bit in shipping.

Do you guys use the M855 for anything? My local indoor range doesn't allow it but I ordered some anyways just to have on hand.
