Does anyone know how this ammo shoots? I'd rather not get 5000 more rounds of Thunderbolt. Nothing I have likes that stuff.

No idea. I need to check High Road and such and see if anyone's had any of it.

Well, doesn't matter: looks like they're sold out already

And isn't THAT an interesting piece of data

Well dang it. I spent all day at work thinking about making that order as soon as I got home.

There must've been people ordering multiple cases for it to disappear that fast. Kind of amazing, actually
