| Is $200 about what I can be expecting to pay for 1000 rounds of decent SS109/M855? Shoot, maybe I should buy a AK47 for plinking. It would pay for itself in about 3000 rounds. |

You wish. $200 is about what it usually costs for 1K of M193, which is cheaper than SS109. It's true that shooting AKs is much cheaper. The rifle is cheaper, and the ammo is cheaper. I actually shoot a lot of Wolf and Barnaul in my Bushie, with no problems so far. I pay about $110/1K. |

Quoted: Shoot the Wolf, Barnul or Silver Bear then for practice. As long as the practice is 100y or under you shouldn't worry too much about point of impact changes from M193. With the cost savings you could buy a new bolt with each case and still come out cheaper. I've got to get the Silver Bear to function in by rifle first. It starts sticking in the chamber after about thirty rounds. It may not be the ammo though. I'm going to get the chamber polished to see if it makes a difference. |
