I have to say I'm kind of with bravo (the OP) here. All my life, I've used used elcheapo US made ammo to practice. UMC, PMC, WWB etc. I've turned my nose up at foriegn stiuff, but why? Its military issue. Are the giving their guys rounds that don't work? Classic Arms has a sale on surplus .556 from the UAE. Its about $.20 a round on stripper clips. Sounds like a hell of a deal. I'm tempted.
FQ13 I've been conservative in the past, but am wondering why. I use the good stuff for SD. But for the range? So what if it jams?
