A buddy is a great pistol shot, President's 100, 2700, etc. He loved doing 30 mag dumps in his 5.56, a Class III HK-53. Then he discovered that even 55gr GI ammo was keyholing at 50 to 100yds. Yup, the 8.5 inch barrel was fire/gas eroded for the first 4 inches. Eventually sold it for a fraction of its value. A hard learned lesson. Never got another Class III weapon.
