I was in the other day looking at your ammo selection, when one your your employees ask if I needed help. He ask in a polite manner, nothing wrong there. I replied I was just looking to see if you had any 5.56x52r.... he laugh and replied theres no such round made. After a little discussion he scratch his head and replied well I learned something today. I thought I'd just post this for a little fun.

That was me, and I do appreciate the education! As you might imagine, we get a lot of folks coming in the door who don't know the proper names for common cartridges like 7.62x54R, 5.56x45 and 5.45x39. I also asked you if it went by another name; I am seeing online that it is more commonly known as "22 Savage Hi-Power" - not that that would have rung a bell with me, either.

Thanks for posting the pic!

I like it when two rational adults interact with each other. Bravo to both of you!

That's a very interesting rifle! Amazed that anyone is still making ammo for it.

5.6 != 5.56, so shooter521 wasn't incorrect

I agree. Mods, can we make this a sticky so we can prove it happens?

 

[dooshie]

no it is 5.56x52r
