    I have a stash of that in case of zombies, but it’s only manufactured to 2 MOA (minute of man) accuracy. They are equivalent to a bucket of Remington golden bullets in .22 LR.

    B853EC95-6563-462E-ABA7-507A624480B6.jpeg I have the adjustable comb and it’s solid. Nothing wrong with a hatsan especially if you spring for a nice Hawke optic for it.

    How exactly is such ammunition any functionally different from commercial full-metal jacket ammunition available at any store which sells ammunition?

    [​IMG]

    Muzzle velocity: 3240 FPS.
    Velocity at 100 yards: 2759 FPS.
    Velocity at 300 yards: 1933 FPS.
    Muzzle energy: 1282 ft/lbs.
    Energy at 100 yards: 929 ft/lbs.
    Energy at 300 yards: 456 ft/lbs.
    Uses: Target Shooting, Training, Plinking


    The muzzle velocity is the same. The bullet diameter, weight, and method of construction is the same. Realistically what is the difference between them?

    Years ago, I used to buy rounds online in bulk and resell them at gun shows, and to local gun shops. I even solder an order to a private security firm. I had an FFL license to sell weapons. And instead of starting a gun shop like most FFL dealers, I just bought bulk and resold in bulk. I never dealt in guns, only ammo. You don't get an much read tape if you only deal in ammo.

    Hmmm. A year's worth? Are you sure you're getting enough range time?

    But it is far easier than dealing with the anti-gun idiot that works the gun counter at the local Walmart... Best thing that ever happened was Walmart stopping selling ammunition for anything other than a Fudd gun. Now I have more ammo, more reliable suppliers, and pay less.

    But, as soon as the Democrats can ban Internet sales of Ammo, in my town, there's nowhere left to buy it. Prices will climb through the roof, availability will drop to next to nothing, and manufacturing for civilian use will dry up because sales won't support the cost of keeping the capacity.

    Once such occurs, the firearms industry will collapse for the united states military as well, as government contracts will not be enough to support the manufacturers. It will be a matter of months before both the military and law enforcement run out of ammunition themselves. It is the law of unintended consequences.

    Not as much as I'd like, and I have been shooting more 7.62x51, working up loads for my new Aero M5E
