Ok, I'm putting in an order for some SA .223 from AIM Surplus (aimsurplus.com), and I noticed that they have .45ACP FMJ ammo for $89/600rds ($7.50/box). Said ammo is described as 'WWII dated USGI', 50rds/box, with the boxes stored in a 'sealed steel can'. I've got a 1911, and where I live, the going rate is $10.55/box (with tax). This is a 'range gun' (no CCW in WI), so FMJ vs HP is not an issue (I normally shoot FMJ). My question is: Is this ammo worth buying? Will the age affect it's usefullness as range-only ammo? P.S. I put this here because the pistol board has no 'ammo' section that I could find... |

That is corrosive ammo, other than that it should shoot just fine. You will have to follow a different and more extensive cleaning procedure with your pistol after using this stuff to ensure that your pistol is not damaged by the mercury and other crap in the primer and/or powder. If not cleaned properly it will cause the bore to pit and/or rust. www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/4653/corrcln.htm www.netside.com/~lcoble/dir7/ammo.txt |
