A friend of mine, long retired, schooled under Gunny Hathcock when my friend helped form the first SWAT team in Georgia, which was a State Patrol unit. He said a couple of years after they got it up and running they were going to equip the unit with new rifles, and he was considering a couple different makes. He talked with Carlos who told him what rifle to buy and what ammo to use in it. Said Carlos told him not to mess with reloading for the unit, but shoot the factory stuff.
That unit would win the interstate competitions, between snipers of various departments, regularly with those out of the box rifles and factory ammo, much to the consternation of their competitors who would be shooting custom made jobs and hand loaded ammo.
He has some interesting stories about Hathcock, who he got to be friends with over the years.
