Throat erosion is about 4x faster with the cheapo russian ammo.

So, if you have a rifle with a $100 barrel, go ahead and burn it up. If you have a quality barrel, please, for the love of heaven and earth, shoot the good stuff.

BTW Federal 5.56 in Lake City brass is running around $.32 in 1k cases online. OP didn't get as good a deal, but if that's the best price in his local area, good for him!

Ammo question for Gun guys on board.

Made by Fiocchi, which is a good company. My glock shoots it just fine

One of the best handgun's money can buy, especially for the money

Good to know. I've never had issue with Fiocchi. In fact,

You can expect ATF to be knocking on your door....

Never heard of it but if it is made by Fiocchi, that makes me feel better

$13.97 for 50 rds of 9mm. $18.97 for 50 rds of .223 super cheap

That isn't that cheap for 9mm. I look for 9mm at around $.22/round

If you plan to start shooting alot, you might consider a basic reloading setup.

Decent stuff. Good brass. A tiny bit dirty, but, still cleaner than Tula or Wolf

Local pawn shop has a rock river with add ons for $850.00

Zach Morris

That's not a bad price for a RR.

I'd recommend getting a Colt 6920 from Wal Mart

Rock River is a quality manufacturer. I actually think that's a pretty fair...

BearsandBulls

Which model Rock River? I have a Rock River, good AR.

I would highly recommend a gas-piston AR

I second this recommendation. But I wouldn't recommend getting...

9/17/14 5:30pm

Pistons are a gimmick on the AR, in my opinion

binghammer

9/17/14 5:33pm

Wolf is the worst -- makes cleaning a real chore.

PlanoCougar

9/17/14 5:06pm

The range where I shoot won't let you shoot Russian ammo

Tricky

9/17/14 5:08pm

Probably due to their ventilation system not being able to cycle

PlanoCougar

9/17/14 5:11pm

I don't put Wolf or Tula through any of my AR's. It's just too dirty for DI...

BearsandBulls

9/17/14 5:09pm

Never used Tula, but I'll stay away from it.

I've shot a fair amount of Perfecta in both .223 and 9mm

PlanoCougar

9/17/14 5:05pm

It is junk, I'd pass on it.
