Ammo of Choice For the M1 Carbine

[rocky321]

I use it, it's good ammo. No problems, and you can get it for $17.95/box 50 at Wrigleys Ammo.

Just bought 5 boxes at Wideners for $17.95 per. Wrigleys is now a $1.00 more per box and sold out FMJ.

I have a beater Racker NPM that I shoot Wolf & other steel case stuff thru. That one I really dont care, its my plinker with a barrel that wont even gage. Now for my collector's I use only Brass Case, primarily Remington & Aguilla. Never had any issues.

I prefer the Prvi Partisan. I have also fired the S&B, and while it shoots ok, it has had a few feed/extraction malfunctions in my two carbines. I have 500 rnds of Aquilla that I've yet to try. To date, I prefer either USGI surplus (where to find nowadays?) and then the Prvi.

Aguila is known to be slow, about 100'/sec low. I think it runs about 1870 IIRC.

I clocked Privi Partazan at 1865fps avg. High was 1880fps.

Scott, Thanks... I have been running across some 110 gr SP Prvi lately and I didnt know if it had enough "juice" to use around the house.

hello,
I use a 110gr bullet (preferably sierra) with 13gr of v-v N110.
Precision is very nice.
When I started 13 years ago, I bought israeli samson ammunition for cases.
2 years ago I got two packs of original WCC military rounds, these were the only two occasions I used factory ammo.

I've been contemplating popping down to the South Store to grab a can of the Lake City. Anybody get any of that yet? I take it that it is nice condition?
