I just bought a Safety harbor SHTF rifle. Looking at ammo. I like the price of the PMC 660 grain FMJ-BT ammo. Is it worth buying? I'm shooting 200 yards. No competitions, just putting holes in paper. Any opinions?

At 200 yards ammo section isn't very important... PMC will do excellent
The 50 is an inhearantly accurate round, I wouldn't worry about match ammo at all until you go past 1000 yards (heck even then bulk ammo is fine) I'd be thinking more about what optics to use lol I'd assume the bare minimum would be a 8x. I'd personally probably go with a 12x or something |

I already have that covered. I have a SWFA SS10x42 mounted on the rifle. For my yardage, I'm thinking that will be more than sufficient.

Excellent optic choice
Now then, at 200 lets see some grapefruit turned into clouds 
Also not to be a safety-Sally but remember 200 yards is pretty close for a 50 so caution ricochets I assume you have a soft sand backdrop or similar If you want to be really hard core maybe wear a surplus PASGT helmet and look bad-ass

I've got the SWFA 20x42 on my BA50. So far everything has worked great out to 500 yards with just m33 ball ammo.

I can go back home to WV and shoot from one mountain to another and most places in between. I'm sure I'll find a "friend" who will let me shoot on their farm if they can shoot along with me. |
