NO children here! 100+ year old brick house lathe and plaster interior walls, support walls are brick.. Steel doors and frames. ground floor windows are 3 1/2 inch Lexan in steel double hung frames. Stress monitored floors, passive and active heat and motion sensors. It took several years and more than a few thousand bucks. Small price for some peace of mind?In your house? First question do you have kids? Also rounds go thru sheet rock I have fired 230 grain 45acp hollow points that went thru two full walls and stop at a piece of furniture on the other side in a combat shooting house that's 4 layers of 1/2 inch old school sheetrock and 2x4 studs. I always tell people birdshot messes them up real good enough that they live and the Police can pick them up at the hospital the next round is OO buck if they dont get the point.
Yep! .300 Whisper 220 gr HP and the other is .458 SOCOM...I have chosen SS-109 version of M855 62 grain penetrator rounds for my prepper stores. I've found that this stuff (Privi Partisan in particular) is very accurate in my AR - it has 1:7" twist and 14.5" barrel (with pinned flash hider to make it over 16").
I did see an interesting youtube about M855 vs M193 with fmj bt 55 grain bullet and it basically showed that the older version actually created more disruption in the media than the 62 grain M855 - though the new round did penetrate a little further. It also found that the 55 grain version was more accurate - or made smaller groups.
I've found that my rifle puts 5 rounds into 1-1.25" at 100 yards consistently - with a scope and from a rest.
I decided to settle on one specific type so that I wouldn't have much variation in point of impact changing from one lot or case to another. The SS019 Privi Partisan can be found for a good price too. But I do have Federal as well.
I could have heavier rounds as well - they'd stabilize in my carbine due to it's fast twist and I could just record the difference in drop and record the clicks needed to adjust, but I use KISS as much as possible with my preps.
What's your choice? Or do you have multiple types?
I'm not on here just to be able to sell some guns. I'd rather not sell any more. I had a sizable collection a few years back but had to sell them to make ends meet - was hoping I was beyond that now but apparently, not quite... I've been haunting gun boards for a long long time. I'm still a mod over on guns.net and was hanging out on the Mississippi Gun Owners board when I lived there. Was also a mod on Parallax Bills but I haven't been over there in quite a while - that's a milsurp board.
And I don't wither at a few hits from people wanting to troll me. Its all part of the game.
As you can see, when the SHTF, ammo will be worth it's weight in gold.
Stock up while prices are low!Gold is over-rated IMO. I'd rather trade for quality bourbon!
True! The man with all the gold will never be able to hold on to it against the man with all the ammo.Gold is over-rated IMO. I'd rather trade for quality bourbon!
