46 gr. Practice Ammo - Anyone have Experience

[The Bolt Man]

I just received 648 rounds of the 46 grain Chech practice ammo. Has anyone had any experience with this light recoil practice ammo?

I've been thinking about buying some of that ammo myself. Let us know what you think of it after a trip to the range.

About a 48 grain bullet
Hollow point I think with a plastic insert
Accurate out to 100 yards.
Feels like shooting a 22 rifle.
Has full powder charge,so still has muzzle flash from short Mosins
Not much recoil
3700 fps!

I've shot some out of one of my M44s, it was fun as hell. No recoil, but still has the loud bang, concussion wave, and fireball...

I haven't tested it on paper targets, but it didn't have much trouble taking out clays at 50 and 100 yards.

Where's a good place to buy some? Every tuesday my buddies and I go desert shooting and usually bring some ladies along. Interestingly they love the classic bolt guns (one said her favorite was my M38, go figure) but needless to say they start bitching about their shoulders before too long.

I found mine at "SGAmmo.com". I seems to be going fast.

how safe is center fire ammo... how mush pressure does it take to ignite the primer... i know i need to be safe... duh!, but how gentle or not gentle can i safely be without accidently setting off the bullet... im not real familiar with center fire munitions... cheers

Just what are you refering too? Don't throw them in your fireplace or set them next to the wall heater but If your gun passes headspace you should be fine for commercial and military ammo. Now if you are reloading there are guidlines in the manuals. Not quite sure what you are asking though.

[eriksund]

im just wondering how safe they are to handle, how hard the primer has to be hit before they go off.... i kind of know the answer myself, but want confirmation from you guys who know... i know soldiers in combat didnt worry about their ammo going off... so i know i will be fine... just sometimes loading by hand my mosin i sometimes have dropped one.. will it ignite if it lands on the primer?

[desdem12]

Well then...........I would never say never but........In my many, many years of handling ammo and it is like 40 years, I have never had one go off when i have dropped it or even rimfire for that matter. Dropping them happens but if you are careful where you are loading i think you will be fine. To add to this i have never heard of this happening either.

I just ordered the 264 round deal.

With the blunt nose it ruptures jugs of water very well.
Also, this ammo will cycle my SVT40 bolt but FTF.

[Junk Yard Dog]

The primer needs one hell of a whack to go off, and once it's in a cartridge case the whack has to be very precise to hit on the primer itself. Ever hear the firing pin snap down when you dry fire the rifle? It's a good crack, lot of pressure behind it , that's what is needed to dent the primer. Don't worry about it, I have tens of thousands of rounds, and have handled tens of thousands more without ever a problem .
