I've been hearing the phrase getting alot of mileage on these and other pro2A boards.. And it's got me to wondering. What do you call "cheap ammo"?
More to the point.. what qualifies or elevates a certain brand of ammo above being "cheap"?
I mean I typically see two price points for just about every caliber of pistol and rifle ammo. One for so-called target or 'plinking' rounds and other, much higher, for self defense/hunting rounds..
Whether it's umc, wwb, blazer, monarch, wolf or fill-in-the-blank, fmj's seem to be fmj's. They're all, for the most part, mass produced and good enough to put down range. I mean, there's some higher end stuff but is it that much better than those that come in the 100 and 250 round boxes??
I just don't see what the big deal is about not wanting to take out a second mortgage to be able to take a little target practice. I understand that selfdefense/home defense rounds are worth, for the most part, spending that extra little bit to get what makes you feel comfortable but as far as target ammo, unless you're competing at a relatively high level or need to be able to put a whole mag thru a 1/2" hole, I don't see what the big deal is...
anyone care to educate me on the virtues of target ammo that's not "cheap
"??
