What kind?
It has too be some decent ammo (for some reason I'm thinking they are hollow points) cause that is all my step-dad would shoot, when he moved out and I moved to florida I took it with me......

as far as powder goes. triple 7 shoots the cleanest. I have tried a bunch and can get 3 shots before I have to clean it. others I get 2.
Triple 7 sounds like what I will go with......

I bet you gave probably 3 times for yours than I did mine......
