Which Ammo to Shoot First at Class?
We are heading to Boone County for Pat's Carbine Operator class. Trying to use some of the older ammunition in the bunker. Choices are 1983 South African M193 in battle packs (Berdan primed so difficult to reload) and 1984 5.56mm WW Q3131 (loaded at Lake City back when WW had the contract).
Which would you shoot first (and why)?

SA. Focus on training, not on recovering brass. Just sweep it up at the end of the day and dump it.
Use the Win for practice where you have time to recover it, process it and reload it.

I agree with jmart. As long as they both are reliable that's the way I'd go.

Another vote for shooting up the berdan primed stuff first. It's looking like wolf or maybe .45 in the AR45 for my class next month...

Rick straight-up rocked that M1A. Watching him throwing that gun around like an AR and doing hammers and NSRs at close range was inspiring, to say the least!
What was "Dirk's" real name? Not sure if I talked with him much or not.
Getting the opportunity to be a team leader for the LAPD drills at the end of TD3 was the big payoff for me - even moreso than the free gear I got for being high overall shooter.
"Stuff you'd never get to do in your day job, 101." Great friggin class!
