i got to shoot today shot my buddies mp9 5"core with a different trigger and ram. i was really impressed alot of people dislike the mp triger i didnt mind it but the travel and the reset was great. also shot his ppq navy which i couldnt shoot very well the very short rest and light trigger threw me off but its a great shooting gun. and off course his sig p226 just love this gun just saving up for mine. and off course his dd mk18 and my dd v7

Also, they have Federal Target .22 Automatch .22LR 40gr Solid 325rd Pack @ $19.99 ammo for sale - decent price? Good ammo? Bad ammo?

mossberg plinksters are alright but id pay a little extra and get a ruger 10/22 cause theres so much you can do with them kits access etc or even get a take down which i think is cool especially being non restricted id take it hiking and etc even comes in a little bag

i know what you mean by bad ammo for 22lr sometimes semis jam or dont feed properly. i think automatch is good for semi or federal champion alot of guys seem to like the bucket of bullets from remington. with semi on 22lr the key thing is to remember a good chunk of them like the 40 gr.

ammo for the most part is depending on the gun some guns cycle different grains or loads better. today at the range someone was shooting surplus 9mm barnaul which i love but that being said i know its a surplus round but ive shot good groups and im not a great pistol shot but he was having light primer strikes i think he had 2 or 3 in a box of 50.

but that is surplus ammo maybe ive just had good luck, ive shot norinco 223/556 for a year straight and had one light primer strike so im happy with my cheap ammo, all types of ammo do have their duds.

im shooting paper and not competing so ill shoot cheap stuff cause paper cant tell the difference, most the time if its a more expensive box of ammo it maybe the load, make or bullet type fmj,bthp,hp etc etc but ive seen some good hornady steel match which is a steal for 223 and 308.

blah blah blah heres the ruger take down
