If you are in driving distance, he has a "load the pickup truck special". I've bought over 300,000 just from him.
He's not the cheapest, but very honest and consistant.
IF there are any Israeli Industry 62gr. "Green tip penetrator" left, pick up AT LEAST a box of 1200!
For plinking and general stockpiling, get the 55gr russian crap....it beats using your fist or throwing rocks.
A word of caution on the Wolf ammo. It's lacquer finish melts in a hot chamber, and, when cooled, sticks badly. I tried wolf once and had a stuck round that almost ruined the chamber. The bolt stuck and took a rod down the barrel to dislodge it. The lacquer had become damned near a glue.
Well, since this thread seems to be covering all aspects of 5.56x45, here goes:
I finished reading Blackhawk Down the first week of September. It seems to me that one of the major complaints that the soldiers had in Mog was that it took several to many shots (with what I assume to be SS109) to drop each skinny. Overpenetration and a lack of fragmentation seemed to be a real problem.
So, my question is: At under 200 meters would a superior projectile choice be a 55gr soft tip or hollow tip bullet against "soft" targets? Given that we civvies are restricted to hardball only I thought that this might be a good question.
