LOL. Mean but funny (assuming you were kidding). My Bushy Shorty was fussy - a rarity, according to the responses I've gotten here - and would only consistently feed and eject Q3131A. I stuck with the IMI/Winchester white box stuff.

6/20/2004 6:49:02 PM EDT

Fed American Eagle 55 grain FMJ mostly

but I have shot Fed XM193 and PMC FMJ with good success. I have a box of Remington Power Lokt hollow points also but I haven't shot them.

$16.00 for the Remington!

I use whatever, but I love other nations surplus like Guatemalan and Malaysian. Too bad it seems to have dried up.

I like IMI the best, but also use Blackhills, remington, most major sporting brands, & I have a good supply of Mylasian ammo set aside.
