[QUOTE="flatlande01, post: 3070052, member: 93877"] I used to buy surplus 5.56 & 7.62 FMJ bullets for use in plinking gas gun ammo, but that was 30+yrs ago when I didn't know any better. With primer shortages and insane powder prices today, if I'm going to load ammo for a gas gun, it's going to be with good bullets - and with any of my large-frame gas guns in 6XC, 6.5x47, 6.5 CM, or 7-08 Improved 30*, I have no choice anyway. Even when I was still shooting a lot of 223 during practice for XTC Hi Power & Leg matches, if I wasn't loading first quality match bullets, if I could find a good lot of factory 2nds that shot good enough to be worthwhile, I'd load them for 200yd offhand & RF practice ammo. It's getting close to time where the club I shoot at will start running precision rifle matches, which I typically shoot with 6 Dasher or 6XC. As much as I'm looking forward to getting together with old buds to shoot, I'm not that crazy about dipping into my small stash of Berger 6mm 105 Hybrids - I need them for the occasional 600yd prone match that I get to shoot with the Dasher. OTOH, I'm looking forward very much to shooting some of the PRS-style 22RF rifle matches with my Vudoo V22 repeaters, especially since I've managed to put aside a fair supply of SK & Lapua 22RF ammo that shoots good enough to take advantage of the accuracy potential of these Krieger bbl'd precision RF rifles.
