JetDrver: I simply did some math. I also said, "If true, that is a failure of USMC leadership." I also used a force of 200; at the time Marcinko made this quote he had only 75 operators. So you can more than double my numbers. Did I post a "BS Flag?" No. Here is the quote I found on the internet: According to Dick Marcinko, the annual training allowance for the command was larger than that of the entire U.S. Marine Corps. That is even more stunning - at the time he had 75 operators and had a training budget more than the Marine Corps? Note that isn't ammo, although ammo would ostensibly be part of this. That the Commandant of the Marine Corps would let ST6 have more resources than the entire USMC is truly a failure of leadership. | |||

A valid point. But that's the way it was in those post Vietnam days at Little Creek. I knew a guy who was an E-6 who was checked out in Lears. They did all kinds of wild stuff and Marcinco's Red Cell pissed off the brass so they locked him up. But anyone paying attention in those days knows that it was a carefully built frame. One only has to look at the dismal performance of the various military units at Grenada to ascertain that there was a real hangover from Nam. Six was an aberration, a unit that worked smoothly. They lost four guys in the Grenada thing, but I still don't believe the press release. Who knows? | |||

Well, based on my savings plan I will be able to go to Africa in 10 yrs. I plan on shooting at least 20rds/month through my 458. I also plan on hunting a bit over the years till then. 12 months per year x 20 rounds per month x 10 years = 2400 rounds minimum. RE: Demo Dick Marcinko. I remember reading about the ridiculous amount of ammo they put through their S&W Model 66's with full house 357 Magnum ammo. ____________________________________________ "If a man can't trust himself to carry a loaded rifle out of camp without risk of shooting somebody, then he has no business ever handling a rifle at all and should take up golf or tennis instead."

Great post Oz. The best practice we have here in Oz, is a feral pig hunt, followed by feral goats, and maybe even a skippy cull (permits). Water buffalo culls are also great practice for the Cape versions. | |||

If I'm taking a plains game calibre I will practice with that a lot. Maybe 100 plus rounds or 200 over several months. A feral game hunt before hand is a great opportunity too. If using big bores, I will shoot them less, as recoil is not pleasant and not good to overdo. However again one feels it less if shooting at a feral. I do use a .22 for practice as well. I shoot a few boxes of it, using up the ten shot magazines to reinforce the keeping the rifle at the shoulder when working the bolt. Works well. Also of course us the centrefire bolt action practising this as well. It is amazing watching videos how many safari hunts drop their rifles to their waists to work their bolts, then shoulder them again to shoot a second shot. Shooting BGRC (Big Game Rifle Club) rapid fire shoots with say a .375 is also great practice. | |||
