shot the new Colt

[vaquero]

Hello all,

I may have paid a great deal more for it but damn does it shoot well out of the box. Put 270 rounds of American Eagle XM 193 55gr. FMJ through it. Tested 9 out of 10 PMAG's. Not one failure!!! Carrying handle was already zeroed. BUIS still not here, so I attempted to zero my Aimpoint M2.

Ran the weapon wet with CLP. Cleaning was extremely easy.

Now my cousin and I are looking into Hornady L-N-L AP reloading gear. We are amped on learning to reloading our own ammo.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Take care,
Michael

Now run it with 600 rounds of Wolf and let us know. Congats!

And run some Silver Bear too. Wolf & Bear are the only two kinds of ammo that I've seen give rifles ammo-related problems.

If you plan to reload don't waste your money on Wolf or any other steel jacketed crap er I mean ammo.

[MisterWilson]

Crap?

Don't tell my rifle that, it shoots it just fine.

Perhaps your rifle had issues?

What I meant was not to shoot Wolf as a matter of course, but to run several hundred rounds hard thru it to assure it works. I like to shoot crap on occasion thru all of my firearms as a reliability check....If it eats CCI in pistols and Wolf in rifles, it will work under less than desirable circumstances. If it did not, I would have sold it.
