Just purchased some Portuguese NATO milsurp (BF 79) in battle packs at a gun show. Private seller sold them @ 50 cents a round. Was informed by the M1A expert that it's pretty good stuff to use in that rifle, but it will also be tried in the MP-10 but I've not had the chance yet. Should have no problems. Also heard a lot of good about the South African.
the expert on the M14 forum posted his test results/rankings (i hope he doesn't mind my sharing them).
