10mmo
Good SD gun.
Good hunting, put food on the table gun.
What's not to love?
Have I mentioned you can get pistol carbine conversions?

I like having a 10mm, with a .40 Smith barrel I can go from the lowest of the low least expensive powderpuff .40 load all the way to up to the equivalent of a magnum load with the full house 10mil load. Kind of cool in that there's such a broad range available in one gun. Still haven't reached my goal of killing anything with it, but maybe at some point. See, now that makes sense. And is tempting. But I really don't need any more calibers to keep track of. Says the guy who is currently getting working on adding one more.  And LowKey, a 10mm carbine? Sounds fun. Sounds like a lot of fun. Darn you, that sounds fun. |

Sounds fun. Sounds like a lot of fun. Darn you, that sounds fun. Yeah, in the past year I've dumped several calibers. Just wasn't really shooting them all that much and they were gathering dust. 6.8 SPC, 7.62x54R and 8mm all went bye bye. I'm going to stick to the Walmart/Academy system of ammo buying, if I can find it there I'll keep it. The 10mm I'm making an exception on. It's a full power pistol caliber cartridge (I need at least one) and even if I can't find 10mm ammo I can still feed it .40 Smith using that KKM barrel. Even during the panic .40 ammo was still around the entire time. Plus I'm not shooting *THAT* much full house 10mm ammo. Just some to practice with and enough for four mags at its lowest in the stockpile. |

MechTech, baby. MechTech. Take your GLOCK reliable as all can be lower and jam it into a tough as shit upper and rock-n-roll. Use your ever lovin' GLOCK mags. Or you can be a Philistine and get a 10MM AR that takes GLOCK mags. I like the option of turning my EDC pistol into a carbine. Not that my pistol (LS 10mm with RMR) couldn't but a deer on the table all by it's lonesome, but a 10mm carbine.....anyone care to run the numbers on muzzle velocity of a 200gr hard cast out of a 16 inch barrel? Okay, now run that our of a 6 inch barrel. Can anyone suggest a single round (exact caliber, bullet weight and powder charge) that does so well or better as a SD round AND as a hunting round?  |

We've got a few that I'm not stocking heavily. 7.62x54R, and .30 carbine--well, the carbine is my wife's, and she does have a decent little stack that she hasn't shot in years (  ), but the Mosins...yeah. Wife has pretty much claimed them so I can't just dump them, but I'm not really stockpiling the ammo, either. I think I've pretty much ditched the 12 gauge--I "loaned" it to my bro-in-law; I haven't taken it to the range in ages, and figured it deserved to be loved. ^_^ That leaves the SKS that I can't/won't get rid of, the 30-30, and the .45, which I actually want to stock and shoot more. I keep thinking I'd like to get an AK, and that would give me more reason to stock 7.62x39, but I've sold my AK each time I bought one, and as invested as I am in the AR, I have a tough time justifying it to myself. Building ARs is fun. Addicting, and fun. |

It makes tacos. So close to burritos. They'll have me with chimichangas.
Whoa, I was so off topic. *Hands self a warning, lets bestie slide*
I stock 5.56, 308, 6.5G and 9mm. I just buy 10mm, 7.62x39, 45ACP, 12 ga and 22LR when I want to shoot it. By far the majority is 5.56 and 9mm. I'm currently moving to get a bunch of Brazilian 77gr 5.56.

Is the brass trimmed better than other 5.56? *ducks and runs* |

Trimming brass is so outdated. It's all about caseless ammo nowadays.

Brazilians are making 77gr OTM. It's good stuff, accurate, fast. Not sure on trim, never looked under the skirt. The big debate is the 62 vs 77 gr otm to increase accuracy and lethality.
62 to match trijicon 4x acog. 77 for the superior lethality. The M855 is going bye buh because we're not facing that 1980s threat anymore. They should use the 62 but fo us as civilians, 77 gr because it's better on all fronts.
Let's have a big flame war about!

You'll be wishing you had stocked up on M855 when the robots take over.

But but but it's a mild steel core, doesn't the robot armor defeat M855? So paranoid right now. Not even blue text.
