Tula's great for that and clearing malfs since in my experience it is often lower powered than most of Wolf's ammo. Would not reliably lock back either of my BCMs and would often times FTF, and was marginal in a Bushmaster I have. But for training it might not be a bad deal, though with Wolf running about $250 shipped I would likely go with that over Tula though since I literally just picked up a reloader I think I am going to start buying all brass cased ammo in calibers I want to reload in so would end up spending the extra $50-70 a K of 5.56 and get the brass cased stuff which I have seen running at some places at about $300, even a little under that from time to time lately.

They have decent pRice, but their shipping kills the deal. I always buy from sgammo, fast shipping, usually only $14 shipping cost.

For pretty good accuracy at a reasonable price, check out CBC Magtech in 55 or 62gr FMJ. They hover around $.40 a round, but I've found them to be much more accurate than a lot of the typical 55gr stuff you find for $.35 a round.

You can find this stuff on gunbot or I think G&R still sells it.

Looks like Grant's got that CBC Magtech 62gr FMJ at $360 for 1,000. That's good ammo at a decent price.

A. We have an ammo section.

B. Google is a great search tool as well as other aforementioned sites like gunbot.net.
