I do have a 20 inch barrel BushMaster, and the barrel is chrome lined. I only shoot Federal American Eagle in the rifle. I do not feel qualified to speak of the types of ammo you guys are speaking of. My Federal ammo shoots 2 to 3 inch groups at 100 yards off the bench. Not impressive, but not bad for general shooting. Since I bought my RR I have put the Bushy away in the vault. I have not shot any of the Federal in the RR yet. I have been spending all my time in the ground hog fields with RR, and it is a blast to hunt with.

I got a real deal on a bunch of Federal American Eagle a few years back. So I really stocked up. Right now I am stocking up on Black Hills ammo-I am looking for another up tick in ammo prices.

I worked in the fireams industry in the 80's and 90's. There was alot of surplus ammo showing up back then. It was suppose to be this or that---but it normally ended up being something different(bad stuff). I got a bad taste in my mouth for the surplus ammo. We ruined two Garands with some surplus Turkish ammo.

The only surplus I trust is White Box Lake City .308. I am sure there is other god stuff out there, but I am not qualified to talk about it. Tom.
