    Default PMC X-Tac Accuracy degraded?

    Anyone been noticing new lots of PMC X-Tac 62gr accuracy being degraded? It used to shoot ~1MOA out of our guns and we've noticed lately it's opened up to ~2-3MOA.

    Just wondering if we got a bad lot or if South Korea is sending the US 2nds or something.

    two different people, on two different rifles, that have no other problems with other ammo in terms of deviation from baseline accuracy? No.

    Yes; the time output required for loading is unbalanced with savings. 1k rounds on a forster co-ax = more time than it takes me to work to afford 1k rounds of factory ammo. Money = proxy for time and labor, and therefore the relationship of time and labor having a money value means it's cheaper for me to buy ammo rather than reload it -- at least as far as .223 is concerned.

    You couldn't get an amount that would be worth it, so you should just give it away. To me.
