Been drinking but Mises had a concept where basically you don't listen to anyone's opinion because they are stupid.
You listen to what they actually buy. "Yeah sure I'll buy that faggy recycled toilet paper for 2x the cost" IGNORE What you actually have to watch is what people ACTUALLY buy. Disregard their opinions. And if 77gr is the same price as 193? LOG MY ECONOMIC PREFERENCE BRO |

The American annual budget deficit and obscene $35 trillion national debt does matter.
The inevitable result of continued deficit spending is inflation, and lots of it. |

I also bought a case of 77gr OTM today. Wheeeeeeee!
I like ammo. I like AAC. I like 77gr OTM. I dislike government. |

I also charged all the lasers, NV, and Thermal’s batteries. No coincidence.

God, I hope ammo in general eases on prices.

M193 has leveled off at around 50 cents a round for the past couple years. With the election incoming it could possibly go up or down afterwards. Everyone remembers the "Trump slump" when prices and demand plumeted after he took office.
Of course, even with Trump in office, all it would take is a major event / national emergency to send prices shooting up even higher! As has been said numerous times before, unless you are a new gun owner (and even then, this only applies if you are also young and poor. I have less sympathy for 30+ year old adults who suddenly get an epiphany that self defense is important). You should have a decent stock pile squirreled away already. If you don't, then at BARE minimum you should have 1000 rounds of ammo for your primary combat arm for "go time" that you do not ever shoot, and THEN whatever you plan to shoot for the range / practice on TOP of that. The first thing you should do with your primary combat arm is to get it sighted in and zero'd ASAP (with irons AND optics (if you have both). And you should fire that weapon min of once a year, but ideally more. And that is a BARE minimum, if you are dirt poor or living out of a van in a vagabond life. |

Realistically it's just "better" for extremely long range shots that 99.9% of people will never even think to attempt. Yeah, I'd rather have double the supply of M193 on hand and ready to go. If you think you might NEED a few long range shots (who here has many 500+ yard shots?) then maybe keep a couple boxes to see how it zeros in your gun and keep a mag or two loaded with it that you can swap in if you ever unrealistically decide you need to slug it out with a target at half a mile ranges. |

M193 vs heavy OTM aside. I have heard iffy things about AAC quality. They are also downloaded velocity wise from what I understand. I personally wouldn't trust AAC for duty use.
