Anyone here into firearms?

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.

Found M193 XTAC for $320-ish 1K, but don't like the place selling. It seems to be around $350 elsewhere. Carbine 1.5 Viking Tactics this November, I need to buy some. Already bougth 15 Lancer L5 AWM mags, need a few more things.

I've never taken a course from Kyle Lamb, but he has a great reputation. Last course I took was last October - Trident Concepts. That was a 2500-round course. I was glad to have 18 Pmags on hand with a StripLula and all rounds loaded into stripper clips.

Your next challenge will be selecting load bearing equipment.
