    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)


    anyone done a penetration comparison of steel (bimetal or whatever) jacketed ammo vs green tip? We should probably ban that too.....that and maybe all them "cop killer" rifle rounds that go through kevlar and elk hide.

    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.............

    LOL

    idk if the time spent pulling all those tula/wolf bullets and reloading them in lc brass would equate into a profit....seems like a lot of work.
