I’m not sure if this is a caliber you have something in, to chamber this stuff:

30 bucks a box for 20!!

Me? I’m going ‘further old school’. I already shoot just plain wadcutters and semi-wadcutters in my .38’s. No plus-p, or super-duper catridges, just 148 wc’s and 158 swc’s, no HP’s, either. Once I’m done with that, I’m getting what Winchester 130 FMJ’s I can. Used to work for me, when I wore a Model 15 on airbase security detail. They are flat nose, and not round nosed. I don’t figure to be shooting at folks wearing ak-rifle magazine pouch vests, so they do work fine. I’m on a budget, so 30 for 20 doesn’t work for me.

Talking about old school, I have enough of the old Comblock 7.62x54R to last several lifetimes. Say what you will about Commies, but they used to understand what kind of round a main battle rifle should shoot.

Polish light ball from 1953.

I used to do that before the boat sank with all my firearms AND ammo. It was a sad day indeed!
