    Fires using only the primer, no gunpowder. Use Colibri ONLY for revolver/pistols, Super Colibri is a bit stronger
    And can be used in rifles. Using Colibri in a rifle can cause squibs and result in a jammed barrel, blown barrel and injury.

          Use the "Super Colibri" in bolt action. I use it in my Glenfield 25 with no issues. You can use them in semi autos but have to manually cycle them.

            can the regular colibri work with a bolt action?

              No, no "Colibri" in ANY rifle. Get the "Super Colibri" for your rifle.

                      That has to be the longest sentence I have ever seen. Take a breath once in awhile! .

                      In all seriousness, first off, this is the rimfire forum, so you'd have better luck in the center fire forum. That having been said, you probably got some "battle packs". I can almost guarantee they aren't corrosive, might possibly be factory reloads.

                      Good luck!

                          The only real difference in corossive and non corrosive is that you need to clean after shooting it after your shooting session. Might as well, just shoot it, and then clean it and stop worrying.

                            Ammo Bros in Ontario had tons of .45 ACP, 9mm, and 7.62 on Saturday. 9mm was $150 for 350 rounds of Blazer in a plastic ammo can, .45 was $110 for 200 rounds in plastic ammo can. Don't remember the 7.62 prices. There was enough on Saturday that there should still be some left.
