TRG, when my FAL comes in, I will bring to ETH's farm so you can shoot it. Also if you have time go to www.falfiles.com for more info.
BTW, for FAL, new mags are 10 for $90.00 at Tapco. 308 ammo ranges between $129.00/1000rds to $150.00/1000rds. As far as brands are concerned: Port., Hirt., Santa Barbara, South Africa, Radway, are all good plinking ammo. FAL can eat almost any ammo, very reliable.
