Metal-cased .223 cheapie ammo

Post by jaeger45 » Sun Nov 06, 2005 3:43 am

I usually feed my cheapie metal-cased .223 ammo to my Chinese AK-47 clone. I reserve my handloads for my Remington 700 bull barrel, a tack driver. However, prices of bullet components are rising in Kalifornia, and I might have to start feeding my Remmy with Wolf ammo.

Won't the stuff damage my Remmy one way or another? And won't the steel case shellack gum up my chamber?
A bad shot is often caused by a loose nut behind the buttplate

You'll just have to scrub out the chamber with a good brush and solvent more frequently. Because your rifle isn't an autoloader, shellac gumming up the chamber isn't as critical.
