Question

How do you shoot strange, new ammo without looking or finding out info, on said ammo?

Like, copper jacket, steel jacket, boxer, barden, corrosive, brass jacket, steel jacket, weight of bullet, reloads, new?

Don't get me wrong, but I try to find out some of this info before I buy or shoot ammo.

I too have found out the hard way too, but now I do research before I buy or shoot strange ammo.

I give most surplus ammo the 3 day rule.
(1) clean
(2) clean again, check for problems
(3) clean again

Cleaning corrosive ammo is easy, in both bolt and gas guns.

all ammo is different and not the same, do all you can before shooting or buying.

Blackrat, sorry to see what that POF ammo did to your rifle. At least you caught it before a month or more had passed.
