I forgot to mention that I have plenty of B27-E targets, so unless you have special targets you want to use (or buy at the range), you don't need to bring any. I bought a 100 a while ago, and I've probably used 10.

While obviously XM855 5.56 is steel core, I have found that some of the el cheapo Russian 5.56 is magnetic not because it has a steel core, but because they mix iron in with the lead to save money. Also, M80 7.62x51 has a bi-metal jacket and it will attract a magnet, but again it is not steel core. So, while I think that no steel core (5.56?) is an understandable rule, ammo that attracts a magnet is not necessarily the definitive test. No green tip penetrator is what they really mean, isn't it? Any clarification appreciated! :???:

I'll touch base with them tomorrow and get clarification.

I think the sash would be better for you.

That's OK with me. I'm surprised you didn't go buy one after our last outing! :lol:
