2 – the ordinance is effective July 14th thru August 24th
3 – all persons entering a commercial establishment must wear a mask (except for religious organizations)

I like that last line....

Otherwise I would have to call you a Jackboot thug extorting money at the behest of the draconian state.

I dunno my squad probably went through more than 5000 rounds plus of M855A1 in Afghanistan. That’s a conservative number. Think 12 infantry men on patrol, at least 8 with M4s usually getting engaged and using 3-5 mags each, several times a week. Then add in the engagements on the combat out post where they live that happen almost everyday at 5pm-7pm lol. Belt feds and M4s.
I didn’t get the 855A1 till about 1/2 through the fighting season and we eventually ran out and went back to green tip. So we used it up definitely. I never saw a malfunction during that time that I related to the cartridge , we had no catastrophic failures, zero. Never saw anything other then really good performance on targets and some damn good Barrier penetration (as far as mud huts and walls are concerned)
Where I’m going with this is, if an infantry squad can use that many rounds, during a very kinetic deployment, and suffer no catastrophic failures, no abnormal malfunctions all while using GI spec old school non-enhanced magazines, I’m not seeing where all these issues are coming from?

would I shoot 855A1 all day at the range in the civilian world? Probably not, I don’t like blowing cheddar that way.

If it causes a faster wear rate on small parts, like you mentioned +P+ we’re talking what, taking a 30,000 round nitride barrel down to 25,000? 20,000? Keep in mind thats a 150.00-180.00 barrel . You would have paid 15,000.00 in ammo lol

so personally, and maybe I’m wrong this has been years ago and was only In over seas environment, if you stacked up 855A1under the idea it was going to be used in a combat scenario here, I doubt the barrel life issue would matter at all. You probably wouldn’t survive long enough to be shooting 20,000 rounds, not you personally but most of us.

I never saw a bolt break, OOB detonation, barrel that didn’t hold mil-spec accuracy, abnormal malfunctions, feeding issues while shooting M855A1 along with 35-40 other guys I was directly associated with.

never heard of company level issue nor any word down from battalion, however we pretty much fielded the first 855A1 rounds in country. They came special delivery!

I want some 855A1 but I ain't paying the going rate for it.

I hope all police forces in GA adopt that underlined bit
