[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Q3315 FBI contract 62gr training ammo

Posted: 12/16/2011 2:28:26 PM EDT

I got some of this in at work today and thought I would post some pictures. It comes in 900 round cases. I haven't shot any since I just unloaded the pallet today. It will be after the holidays before I get to the range to shoot any of this. I will I am still waiting on the duty ammo to arrive. I'll get some pictures of that up when they arrive. David

Interesting tip design. Did you weigh the charge?

Thanks for posting.

No, I don't have anything to weigh it with. I am nowhere near as technical as you guys. Just a trigger puller. David

Is this lead free or do you know?

Thanks

Says reduced lead. Probably because of the closed bottom design.

Yes from what I read the primer is the part that is lead free. I wasn't sure so that is why I pulled a round. It is definately a lead core round. David

If this is simply training ammo, what's the deal with the snazzy tip design ...
