Well,
It has been 4 days and no return label so I just called back. I got a hold of a guy named Paul in customer service that was very helpfull. He emailed me the return label while I was on the phone with him, so it does not need to take up to 48 hrs as the first guy indicated… and failed at meeting that 48 hour limit. Any ways, this Paul was real cool about it and said get them in and he’ll take care of everything real quickly.
He also gave me a word file with the S&W recomended ammunition list for the MP 15-22:
