You'd be misled somewhat by the TulaAmmo advert pics. It would be nice if they actually said in words on the advert what the coating was to clarify the poor photos.
Practically though, does anyone know or have experience in how fast and hot do you need to shoot an SKS or a Vz58 to get the green lacquer to melt and then cause you problems? I am assuming that, say, if you were doing slow, deliberate shots at a range, say, when sighting in a scope, you may never notice this, as the system won't heat up a lot.. But then once you're good to go, and start some more rapid fire, the problem may arise? I have some of the green Barnaul stuff, but haven't used any of it yet, so I'm kinda keen to know. How often does it cause jams, fail to feed, etc? Any practical experiences and feedback would be appreciated.
