    CCI's are fine, it is the Winchesters that slamfire. Been shooting Cci's for the last 2 years and no issues whatsoever. I do prefer Remington 7.5 but they are hard to find.

    Is it severely copper fouled? The copper can cover the grooves while acting as a kind of lubricant making the bullet skid over the rifling. I woulld clean it really really well, it may take a couple...

    Radway Green will consistently have higher velocities than most other surplus, but it will also require more gas. Maybe they use a smaller amount of faster burning powder. Do a test with SA or FNM.

    TZ80 ruined many a rifle, but that's the 7.62 stuff. Hope the 5.56 is of better quality! Hold onto that 300 round SA battlepack, people are paying insane prices for unopened ones.

    The Kowas have great optics, but they are by no means bulletproof. I know of quite a few that snapped in half, or melted their O-rings in a hot car. I have a Tasco armored model (bought before I...

    I shot many 100's of these out of a 1 in 14 twist 22/250, and many more out of a Mini-14. They killed coyotes like the hammer of Thor, and I also shot 2 deer and a Javelina with them. They mushroom...

    2230 is the fastest, and works better with light bullets, 2460 is a little slower, and 2520 the slowest. I use 2520 with my 68/69 grainers as well.

    WTK: TZ 80 carbine ammo

    Thankfully I stocked up on carbine ammo long before I owned any other "assault" weapons, and I just found another 500 rounds of TZ 80 carbine ammo. Think I bought it from Aim, have never shot it.

    Don't shoot FMJ bullets out of it, try the heavier match bullets. Even my older Mini will shoot small groups with the 68 Hornady, 64 grain Winchester PP, but spray 55 grain fmj bullets all over.
