Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172

BMC,

  I have about 300 rounds of ball ammo that I've had for years. It's been quite a while since I dug out the Garand's. I spend more time shooting my cowboy guns.

  When I do want to burn up some military ammo, I haul the M1A out and go through a hundred or so of that. I bought 750 rounds of British Berdan primed ammo that shoots pretty darn good for $239. And I traded a barrel for a Remington 1187 my uncle had for another 500+ rounds of several brands of 308. I keep meaning to take the M1's out and burn up some rounds but it seems every time I think I can do it something comes up on a new "honey do list".

  Neither of the M1's are CMP rifles. The Springfield one I bought at a gun shop when I was on a trip to Vegas. The other is a composite built one with a Danish or Norway built barrel....I forget which. It shoots better than the Springfield with ball ammo. I bought that one from SOG international in 2000.

Thanks for the info though,

Charlie
