Title: Re: What is this Ammo? Post by Kerz on Dec 8th, 2018 at 10:46am
I agree. Great to look at but I wouldn't shoot them.
I was given 4 boxes of 30-40 220 gr Remington Kleenbore a while back. These were suspected to be early 60s vintage. The ammo looked very good. I shot a few rounds over the chrono. Velocity ranged from 2010 to 2385. Corresponding recoil was noticeably different too. I tried to pull a few bullets without much luck. They were stuck, galvanic bonding between copper jacket and brass case. I attempted to break the bond by bumping the bullet against a seating die. Nope, only succeeded in crushing the shoulder. They were really stuck! Vic |
