I appreciate everyone’s input! Has anyone compared the MK 262 Mod 1-C against other similar ammunition? I’m curious how it measures up in terms of cost and performance.

For me, the MK 262 Mod 1-C is just too good for casual shooting. But hey, you gotta pay for quality, right? It’s like buying a fancy coffee instead of instant!

Haha! That’s a great analogy. Quality matters, especially when you want every shot to count. What do you think about its performance in self-defense?

Reflecting on that, the MK 262 Mod 1-C isn’t primarily a self-defense round. It’s more suited for precision shooting. It excels in outdoor settings. What’s your objective for using it?

I’ve been using MK 262 Mod 1-C mil packs for years. Make sure to store them in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain their integrity. Avoid humidity at all costs!

13

Great point about humidity! I also recommend keeping the packs in original sealed containers until you need them. That way, the ammo doesn’t get exposed to air and moisture.

14

To extend the lifespan of your mil packs, always inspect them before use. Look for signs of damage or corrosion. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Definitely! Also, using silica gel packets in storage containers can help absorb any moisture.

And remember, handling matters too! Always handle the ammunition by its casing, not the bullet tip. This reduces the chance of contamination.

Solid advice! I also find it useful to keep a log of when each pack was opened to track their usage over time.

On a lighter note, anyone else think the MK 262 Mod 1-C packs have a better ‘heft’ than other brands? Just saying, if they weighed less, I might be skeptical! Haha!

19

Haha, right? But seriously, after reading about proper storage, I’m now feeling more organized. Thanks for the tips, everyone!
