    Another consideration: If you are not an army you do not have to use FMJ bullets. There are effective soft point and hollow point bullets available for the 30 carbine.

    Not counting 22RF and shotgun shells I've probably fired more .30 carbine rounds than anything else, I have yet to experience any FTF issues caused by soft or hollow point bullets.
