Hello all,
Went to my local store recently and was absolutely thrilled to find some 7.62x39. Seriously, it was that low.
It gets better. I picked up some Chinese ammo on stripper clips. (Which are nearly impossible to find in and of themselves. I ask every time I visit, and I've only had success once.) They were packed in white paper, three clips to a package. Cost was $4.95 per package, vs the $5.25 I usually pay for 20 rounds of Wolf or Tula.
Headstamp is 31 75, which leads me to believe they were made in 1975, right? Also, store owner told me they were very corrosive, which I have every reason to believe.
So I just wanted to confirm...this is steel core, corrosive right?
Also picked up a few boxes of Herter's 122 grain HP. My initial research suggests they can't be counted on to reliably expand, and should be reserved for range use. Fine by me. Headstamp is Tulammo, not sure why they re-branded, but my SKS has had no problems with Tula.
My Herter's research was a little less conclusive. The box says non-corrosive, and since it's made by the same fine folks who made the Tula that I always shoot, it's non-corrosive, right?
