i was thinking the same thing. hell i was at a range one time and a marine
recruiter asked what i though of joining the marines and signing up for scout sniper. i was in untill they pulled my medical history and found screws in my ankle they they wouldn't talk to me anymore. my grandpa was an expert marksman in the army too and my dad is a trainer of trainers for 12 states in fire arms. so that must make me awesome just from there DNA.
i'll shoot with you, but money isn't my style and we can do your short distances even though you know less about your weapon than you think. also gives me a chance to sight in my AR.
"On the other hand, the 154 gr soft point 7.62x39 bullets have a slight advantage over the round nose 150 gr .30-30 bullets, at all ranges beyond approximately 100 yards, due to the spitzer shape of the 7.62x39."
