    Enough of these "Best Ammunition for" posts

    There is no such thing as "Best" ammunition! You must express what qualitative factor you desire it to be "best" at.

    Just for the heck of it....

    When you were in the Service, and in a unit where you were assigned a specific weapon, do you still recall your weapon serial number? The M-14 I was assigned while in Korea, 1965-'66, my weapon SN was 864971. Why do I remember this still after nearly 60 years? Basically because during...
