I saw some brass that said SLAP on the head stamp.. What is it and color tip should it have?? Thanks |
|
If it had any color on the tip it was an aftermarket POS that someone loaded up. Two colors on the sabot that the military uses are amber and red, if they are any other colors it's not real SLAP ammo. The amber was the standard round and the red was for SLAP-T or tracer. The aftermarket ones that you see are usually blue and loaded with some form of .30 caliber round. The military used about a .30 caliber slug that was tungsten and weighs about 355 grains. |
| the SLAP rounds are too cool...you can buy them---gunbroker has them...but damn are they expensive. I have been trying to find the same sabots that they use because the plastic sabots available commercially suck. Tungsten is easy enough to get and have turned into a 30 cal projectile----that is mil-surp brass, unless it was a Tungsten loaded SLAP round that is selling for about $35 a round right now |
This was discussed a week or two ago. For most civilian rifles with a muzzle break, it is a no-no. The sabot can begin to open inside the break, and nearly jerk the brake off the gun. (I've read that it has actually sent the break downrange) Someone else mentioned a break that is sabot safe. Not sure which design it was. |
