I wrote them and asked if it was legal for the guys on COAR15 to sell M855 at $1/rd.
Still waiting for an answer.

I was just thinking maybe someone would part with some of their old run of the mill available everywhere reloading equipment for those fancy soon to be banned armour peersin rounds....but yeah my carbine seems to shoot just about anything with reasonable accuracy (haven't tried any of those heavier 75gr rounds yet though)Quote:

Opposed to the ban on principle, not panic buying anything...yet. Although, if I were going to stock up on any 5.56 ammo and could find it in stock somewhere I'd go with MK-318 SOST stuff.
Got an email this morning from NatchezSS.com that they had more green tip for $.49/round.
Beware of what you are buying, I can see some unscrupulous gun show dealer taking a bunch of bi-metal FMJ, dipping them into green paint, and selling them as m855/ss109 due to them being attracted to magnets.......... Hey, wait, disregard this post, I need to go check and see what is in my stash away cans.............[Tooth]Quote:

What is the desirable trait of this ammo, for someone who's never shot it before? Is it the price?
The hard steel core, and it's performance for light barrier penetration. The accuracy is typical Mil. Spec. And of course the green paint on the tips is so tacticool.Quote:

My experience: Seems to be giving better grouping for precision shooting at 100 yard or more with a 16' barrel. Saw no difference with a 20' barrel.Quote:
