I was at the range a few weeks ago, and my eyes started burning while I was there. It's a private range that is owned by the company I work for. Our local PD uses it for practice. After a little while I noticed a big whitish patch that looked like a burn mark or fine power. Then I realized they must have been practicing with pepper-gas canisters or something. [:)]

You must be allergic
to the dog hair in the primers. |

That crap reeks of ammonia when fired. Maybe you are allergic to the fumes?

You know, I was firing some Russian Barnul ammo last weekend and noticed that it reeeeeked of ammonia. What's up with that? I had to blow my nose a million times an hour for three days after.

It must be the amonia or at least some irritant that gets in my nose from the powder. In the shower I just snorted some water and that helped a lot.

You can't get an infection from just chemicals. You need some sort of bacteria or virus to get an infection. Irritation, sure.
FWIW, at our club's open house last Sunday, I let people fire my AR from a bench while I was giving minimal instruction from the right side of the rifle. We fired maybe 250 - 280 rounds of Barnaul 55 grain .223. I lost count. I sucked a lot of Barnaul fumes that day & I'm doing it again later today. Yes, it smells like ammonia. No adverse effects. No, their primers are not corrosive. |

Quoted: What the hell every time I shoot more than 60 rds of wolf in my ak I get a nose infection the next day. The infection usually lasts about 2 days. This has just started to happen recently. Could it in fact be the muzzleloaders at the range now (It is like fucking Gettysburg with the smoke)? You wouldn't have a Y comp on your barrel do you? I have a mini Y on my m4gery and I get a blast of love smoke every round I shoot. It is amazing I haven't got one yet. It can't be good for you, but it smells soooooo good. |

Yeah, I've noticed that same thing except if I do a lot of shooting or use a lot of solvent cleaning my guns my right nostril starts to bleed. Damn if I know.
