    A company called Polycase Ammo sells them. We found out from informal testing that the bullets shaped as theirs are are best kept to short ranges. We had some rounds keyhole and some reports of drifting to the left badly at longer ranges. Mine were under-sized and so were others.

    We are testing a new bullet now called the X-Fire. Solid copper, 220 grains with petals ready to open up. Made one at a time via CNC machine, these we can push to around 2000 FPS.

    God rest his soul, my old shooting buddy/partner had an issue with magazines. He could not leave them alone no matter whose they were. We both had PSL's and those mags are numbered on the bottom with serial numbers. I never paid much attention to them but I noticed some of my mags looked a little different and the numbers just did not look familiar to me. So I wrote the numbers down I had and the next time we went shooting I had mine on the shooting table laid out empty. I took off walking over to the firing spot we were at and then I forgot something and turned around and caught him red handed going over my mags. I went back to the table and whooped out that piece of paper with my serial numbers on it and I had a different magazine now than before. He noticed the paper and asked what I was doing. I told him I think we are getting our mags mixed up so I wrote my numbers down to keep up with them. BTW, you got this number mag? From then on we ALL marked our magazines to keep what we had. Over the years I mysteriously had a Jennings 22 magazine and a Beretta 25 ACP magazine just vanish. I wonder what happened to them.....

    I've had a friend leave a mag on his bumper before. I stepped away while he left, and when I came out to the parking lot to leave found his mag on the ground.

    I've moved so much that I have mags stashed in boxes everywhere. I don't even know what I have anymore.

    It's sad what people are like this day and age. When heading down range to hang/pull targets I always pull the bolt and mag and carry both with me down range. Also the range I shoot at (in the middle of the woods) has no club owner or supervisor present. When other people are there I openly display my glock on my side in hopes it lessens someone earge to steal.

    They are made by a company out of Merritt Island Fl called Oath Ammo they are a 163 grain 1100 FPS…..

    This one round was shot into 2 one gallon jugs back to back and it went through the first jug but did not penetrate the 2nd jug but there was an indent mark on the 2nd jug…

    The 1st jug was completely blown into about 30 pieces….

    Its the same for me. The range i normally go to is ~30 minutes away and only goes to 200 yards. Its only ~15 minutes for my dad though. The RO usually ends up down at the pistol range which is on the other end of the range since normally theres some new people he ends up helping out.

    The other "range" i go to is just public land but i can find pretty much any range to shoot at i want. Longest i know confirmed is 1200 yards but i know there is longer...just havent actually distanced it since i dont have naything to shoot that range right now. Only problem is its ~1.5 hour away

    ARs are restricted. I have a restricted license. Prohibited firearms are the ones you can't get. real 30 round mag. But they have a rivet to block them to 5 rounds. Most mags are full mags. Just pinned. Because no one in canada can remove a standard aluminum rivet.

    It's a DDM4V11. Only thing I have done is add a mbus resr sight(front isn't here yet). It came with the magpul stock. Not sure on the grip, but it's small. I fit in medium Mechanix gloves perfectly and this grip is way too small. It shoots great though! Still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with it. I love red dots to maybe an eotech. Probably replace the grip with a magpul one. Or are how I like the Daniel defense piece.

    It was supposed to come with the Daniel defense oversold furniture. It came with magpul instead. And the stock is pretty wiggly and didn't inpress me. So I had them send me the DD furniture. It's on the way.

    I've never heard of anyone getting caught. Most probably don't drill out that rivet. Hopefully the law gets repealed. It's far from a concrete law.

    It came with that free float rail as well? I'm looking at building a AR.. Or buying a Rebel Arms AR. I like the looks of yours though!
