My buddy's got an M44 that he likes to take out to our local range. The problem lies in that our range doesn't allow steel cased or Wolf Brand ammunition and he's a LCpl in the Marine Corps. If you bring your own ammo they will inspect it with a magnet to make sure you're not sneaking in any "banned ammo." The range sells ammo but for 7.62X54 is almost a dollar per round. What does THR suggest for him to have fun without breaking the bank.
