Cheech Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh thank god you have a gun I was afraid you were going to beat me to death.I am, but just to death's door. The gun is so you can put yourself out of your misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I can't find anything but metal ammo for my Mosin (haven't looked very hard though). That's the reason the range gave me for denying it, almost verbatim.http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/30309496-1.htmlhttp://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=607http://www.cabelas.com/rifle-ammunition-ppu-7-62-x-54-r-bulk-ammo-dry-box.shtml?WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=GoogleBaseUSA&WT.z_mc_id1=1172298&rid=40&mr:trackingCode=5175649E-ED1D-E011-8E88-001B21631C34&mr:referralID=NAhttp://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/shooting-ammunition-rifle-ammunition/_/N-1100190+4294752071/Ne-4294752071?WTz_l=SBC%3BBRprd1172298&WTz_st=GuidedNav&WTz_stype=GNU Edited February 17, 2012 by crb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Cheap ammo is just that.. cheap...if you have a POS gun run all the cheap steel ammo you want.. but I try to take care of my guns and will spend a few bucks more for better ammo.. The only steel cased ammo I shoot goes into the AK.. that thing will eat anything and it can handle it..The difference with steel case and brass is the expansion of the case when you shoot and the amount of residue left after each shot. Steel case doesn't expand as much as brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly enjoy my hobby and can hit the target. High-end ammo would relegate my POS to the safe and my status to Interwebz badass.

Ricochet Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have spend years in law enforcement and a handgun was a tool that could save my life. I don't baby my guns but I have seen what bad ammo can do to a nice gun. I really dont give a shit what ammo you use. I'm just stating MY opinion and experience just like you have stated yours.
