[Carriage Hill]

Good idea.

There’s some under-a-buck stuff out there now, but it’s usually reloaded, low-grain ammo:

[Vendome]

For plinking and “I don’t care, so long as it’s close” shooting all that stuff is fine.

I have 1,000 rounds of Sciroco and was at the range a few weeks back. A guy came up and told me “You know those tipped bullets? You shouldn’t use them in your gun”.

“Oh?” I responded “Why”.

“They create too much pressure and could damage the barrel or blow it up” he says.

So, I laugh and tell him “that’s true of a Garand but, this is a Springfield M1A. You can put anything you want in this thing. I didn’t even realize I was using Sciroco’s until you pointed it and those damn things are expensive”.

So he wanted to know why I was using them.

“Dunno. Must be the 1st thing I grabbed and really I should have grabbed from a different case” I tell him.

“So this’ll be an expensive day” he says.

“Yeah, I’m not gonna worry about it too much. With over 10,000 rounds in that caliber alone I won’t miss it too much”.
