I was just putting some of my ammo on stripper clips for this weekend and noticed something strange. When I shake a cartridge I would sometimes hear a rattle as if something solid ( not the powder.) was moving around. Out of about 250 rounds, at least 40 would rattle like this. I have seperated them out, and will see if I can safely find a way to determine what is making the sound. The ammo in question was Wolf 7.62x39 122g HP. with the old laquer coating. Has anyone else noticed this? ktm500 |

Were they making the sound while on the strippers? If so it was the cartidges rattling against each other. Edit. re-read your post. I would also pull a bullet and give us a report. I have been hearing many reports of all kinds of problems with Wolf lately. Never anything in this caliber though. |

I do not have a way to safely pull this cartridge apart. I instead took one of the ones with a noticable rattle and slowly forced tissue paper through the hollow point of the projectile. After I had packed it in, I could no longer get the thing to rattle. I think that the lead core may be loose from the jacket. I will try this on another one just to be sure. If the core is loose from the jacket, I imagine that it would seriously mess up the ballistics. ktm500 |
