It definitely makes sense. Actually Darren has a Rock River, I'll see what hes firing, and go with that.

It looks like tons of fun guys, I missed yet another awesome meet today. I was down in Greenbelt then. Oronde, I had no idea you were going to make it our way man. I'll def make it to the next MD meet and the GTR cruise (After B1ades made all the best arguments ever, he missed his salesman calling )

I'd just go to cheaperthandirt.com for now and sort the 5.56 target ammo by price. Read reviews and order a few boxes of a few different brands that get good feedback and give it a shot.

Also keep in mind the weight of your bullets and the twist of your barrel... I believe some of the more aggressive twists don't like the heavier bullets, but I'm no expert on rifles. You'd have to ask Darren.

Well we really need a new thread for this whole conversation LOL

But yeah, same as everything, you'll save buying in bulk.

But Steve had a good tip.. buy a little of a few different brands, and see what works best for your rifle.

Each gun is different, and as Steve also said, it will depend on bullet weight and barrel twist etc etc.

Personally I use 55grain for the 100/200yrd range, and wouldn't use anything less.

You should ask Darren about his Passion Wagon. He has obviously been putting it to good use... we heard some squeaking today in the suspension already.

OMG Did he also have a funny walk? That would be a dead giveaway he's been up to no good in that trunk.
