The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

A magnet, take one off the icebox door and hold it to the tip of the bullet, if it sticks then there is steel inside the bullet. Aren't the jackets steel too? I never thought about you wanting lead specifically. I've always seen guys asking about the difference between steel core and AP. Everyone s...

Almost all surplus ammo has a mild steel core. I think what you meant to ask is "is all surplus ammo armor piercing?" And the answer to that would be no. AP pretty much always has a black painted tip. As to where you can get some, unless one of the guys here will sell you some, or you can ...

I'm sure all of these other guys are giving you very good and safe advice. You should definitely take it. PERSONALLY - I bought some belted ammo from Ammoman once that was cheap because it was rusty. I pulled it out of the belts and cleaned up on a very fine wire wheel that's on my bench grinder. Hi...

Man, that pic is great!

Mosin's have a safety? Lol

Happy New Year!

I picked up "Enemy at the Gates" on DVD out of the bargain bin for $2.
Now I don't have to catch it on cable.

I carry either a Keltec P3-AT .380, Glock 26 9mm, or Glock 19 9mm. Gold Dots in all. +P 124g in the 9's 90g in the .380 Dutch loaded with hardball in the winter. I'm of the same opinion about handloads, fine for practice, but not for carry. I want my lawyer to be able to say that I carry the same as...

Not the training ammo.

AP had a black tip.

Another forum had pics of a round cut in half. It's just a jacket over a (very thin) hollow metal or plastic core.
Nothing much to it.

I have some. I didn't realize you could get it anymore. The kids love it. Way easier on the shoulder. I haven't ordered any yet. My local indoor range tells me if a magnet does not stick to the projectile, I can use it at their range. Can you do this for me an let me know? :vconfused: Yeah sure. I'...

Seeing as how the concussion alone should take a squirrel at 50 yards, this stuff should work fine.

And the fireball should take care of the hair, lol

I have one of those.
Mine's pre-microgroove though, so Grandpa probably paid even less than that!

It's an awesome rifle.
