I tell everyone that if you are going to travel with guns to compete don't use something you can't buy ammo for if for some reason you get there and your ammo doesn't. I generally lose 20-40% of the brass fired in a match because of talking grass/apparatus/time,etc. My long action AI mags are all 5rnd mags which means you'll do a mag chance or two or three in nearly ecru stage you shoot.
