40 S&W and 223 arent that expensive if you shop around on the net. I bought 1000 rds of 223 for 110 with shipping and 40 S&W for about the same. Its still some money but alot cheaper than some ammo like 44mag....21 bucks for 50 at wally world. I found a place that sell it for 9 bucks a box but the shipping is godawful so I havent put in an order yet until I can buy a few hundred bucks worth.
Bersa is cheap cause tehe Argentine economy crashed a few years back and labor got uber cheap all of a sudden. Its really good shit man...the argentien factories were an FN contracter fora while so if thats an indicator on quality I say go.

Yeah you are looking for the old outdated US 55gr 5.56 round and not the current 5.56 Nato round. When they went from the a1 with teh 1 in 12 twist to the 1 in 9 twist they canged the lloading to teh steel stuff that FN designed. I bought a case of Silver Bear 62gr softpoint a few months back through cheaperthandirt. I think tis gone up since then but the silver bear stuff is the way to go. It doenst have the laquer case that gums up ar systems like the wolf or barnaul shit does. Its zinc plated instead, and yeah its steel and steel is supposed to wear out extractors faster but it a part that cost a few bucks to replace and you save a ton in ammo. I have never had one problem with the steel shit in any of my pistols or rifles, although I hear they are hardest on 1911's. I find that odd since TOkarevs are pretty much a colt copy and they eat steel all day long.
