Re: .308 short range/ training ammunition????

well it does read:

"Please note that this round is for training purposes and does not cycle the weapon's action. It fires a 10 grain plastic bullet with a very high initial velocity. The round is cost effective and good for shooting in areas that normally would not allow a rifle round to be fired such as an indoor range."

note:
It fires a 10 grain plastic bullet with a very high initial velocity.

I had a batch I tried, at 25 yards it was iffy, at 50 it sucked.

I shot it out of a remington bolt gun, I wasnt about to try it in my M1A Super Match.

NOOOOooooooo! Very very stupid. Buy some paintball guns if you want to do that. Using real Firearms for shit like this is bloody stupid and likely to end up with some one getting shot. Keep in mind even blanks are known to cause injury at close range.

If I had a 'friend' who aimed in on me and squeeze the trigger with his 308, I'd take his rifle from him and beat him with it.
