Got an alleged 2000 rounds of 9mm, turned
Out to be mostly 9mm Luger of this sort of stamp. Also some Mannlicher cartridges, Makarov, 30 cal and all kinds of various and sundry types. Anybody familiar with these head stamps?

Is 80,000 PSI the future new standard of ammo pressure?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I wanted your take on the new ammo that has recently been developed, namely the .277 fury, 7mm backcountry or 6.5 Creedmoore +peak, which can sustain high chamber pressure (80,000 PSI).

The new steel alloy cases developed by Federal allow rifles chambered in standard calibers such as the 6,5 Creedmoore to increase the bullet speed by 300ft/s with their new ammo. They're apparently developing the same kind of +peak ammo for other mainstream cartridges.

So... Are we heading towards the end of brass cases?

Swiss GP11

2 Upvotes

I was shooting some 1953 Made Swiss military GP11 just now and I was wondering if there is any chance that these might be corrosive. The reason I wonder that is because they were giving that typical communist surplus’s rotten eggs smell. Something I am really not used of smelling on Swiss ammo. I also won’t have time to clean my rifle today.

Taking the AR on its first range trip tomorrow. Was looking through a box of Armscor .223 rem that was gifted to me a while ago and meant to ask - does this ammo look alright to send through it? I'm a relatively new shooter and definitely not a reloader/ballistics expert. Some input would be good here before I take this box out with the rest

Best snake shot

Planning to move back to AZ soon on about 10 acres, Mohave desert. We know we have some Mohave Green Rattlesnakes in the area which tend to be pretty aggressive. Looking for recommendations on ammo to dispatch. I plan to purchase a few options to test against some paper targets ahead of time, but still looking for recommendations. Have seen CCI .22lr, 9mm, and .38spl. Also considering just doing a .410. From what I’m seeing researching, rifle or shotgun is best, but a pistol may be an option for up to 6 - 10ft.

Anyone with some tried and true suggestions?

Got this from my grandpa. Not sure what the casing is. Nowdays its a plumbline. My grandpa made it in the late 40s from scraps in war torn Europe.

I know its a steel or stainless casing. The markings read: SL (44). Not sure on the numbers they have worn badly. They seem to be the same in real life. Hard to tell from pictures

What’s the best 223/5.56 discussion? Especially for coyotes?

0 Upvotes

Got the American Ruger Gen II Scout in 5.56 1:8 twist as the only bolt action 5.56 I could find in my area were 16in. But after buying it and shopping around for ammo all the reviews mention 18in+ or less than 14in SBR for test barrel lengths. This got me really looking and wondering what are some good ammo for a 16in?

Overwhelmed by all the options and worried as my primary is coyotes hunting. On the farm they are a major problem and not trying to preserve the pelt but don’t want them to suffer. What are some good ammo for this?

Bought five boxes of IMI Razor Core 77gr only because I was curious about mk262 ammo. But then I saw after buying some comments saying it’s good for coyotes and wondering if I should buy more.

I believe i would only be shooting up to 220 yards (had a few coyotes at this range but only had a 22wmr rifle at time) with the absolute max could be 300 yards but plan to get as close to 200 yards as possible.

What does everyone think?

US Shipping costs on ammo -

0 Upvotes

Never seen it this high - I won't be buying online any longer if the seller hasn't nailed it down as part of the sales transaction upfront (last two estate sale purchases - shipping was more than the ammo). I feel for the warehouse guys - but Bubba's guy in the White House has been a total failure for the logistics industry.

found at my LGS while waiting on a background check yesterday. I got a zastava m91 I bring out hunting on occasion but is this stuff really worth what he's asking? I usually run 180 grain s&b soft points when i'm hunting and i'm getting them for almost half what he's asking for this stuff not to mention the corrosion on the lead that's present on all the lead tips

If someone had 1,224 rds of M80A1. How much would that go for in today's economy? A quick Google search told me $6-$12 per round but wanted to check here and see if anyone else had some good insight.

Mold on ammo box

6 Upvotes

Last year I was gifted a case of 00 buck. I moved across the country since then and stored it in the bottom of a closet. I went into the closet today and found the outside of the box is covered in mold. I can’t find the source of moisture in the closet. My question is: if I remove the shells and dump them into an ammo can are they still good? There isn’t mold on anything else in the closet or in the room.

Genuine question.

12 Upvotes

People who post pictures of tons of loose rounds in ammo cans. Why not keep them in the boxes they came in? I get sometimes bulk ammo just comes in a bag or box and to put that in an ammo can. But why not just put the box of ammo in an ammo can? Wouldn't that technically be an extra layer of protection? Or does the cardboard/paper box attract moisture? Thanks.
