not shooting w/ Russian-made or China-made ammo

[Ice]

Hey B - I remember you mentioning never to shoot with reloaded ammo, or w/ russian or china-made ammo

There is a noticeable price difference w/ this kind of ammo. Just wondering what the difference is and how come you wouldn't recommend shooting it?

Thanks. Ice

Hmm... not a super pro gun expert guy but I know my dad had bought some 9mm "russian bear" ammo that was dirt cheap and well we found out that was because the quality was dirt cheap crap.

Went out shooting in a bit of fog. Left the shooting box closed up and only opened it to pull out ammo or grab a different gun. Next time we went out shooting every single fucking round of this crap was rusted to shit. Just my experience.

Does anyone reload there own ammo? How do you guys feel about that?

You just bought an awesome ar15. Why run shitty ammo thru it? Spend a few bucks more for her. She deserves it.

Wow.

That's one hell of a test!!!



About reloading.

Don't take reloaded ammo from others. You don't know what they did to it! A hot load could damage your gun. Or injure you. Same for a miss fire with no powder (just primer) that gets a bullet stuck halfway down the barrel. Next round through kills your barrel. And maybe you too.

Second. If you do get into reloading be really careful and precise. Most of the good guys that are serious about it are in competitions. And they are nuts. About millimetres....

One guy said it best. Reloading won't save you money.... You'll just shoot more for the same amount. And that's assuming that you don't count your time doing all the piddly work.

If you really want to get a little extra cash, some guys will buy your used brass for a few bucks.

Cheap ammo = smoky firing, dirty gun No good. Spend a couple extra bucks!
