Lacqured-case ammo -- anyone shot this?

[Mongo62]

I had 5000+ rounds down one of my rifle and the laqure is a none issue really. Most cleaners will remove it and residie without a issue IF it leaves some. Nothing will stick to oiled metal.

probably shouldn't be oiling the chamber . should be dry when shooting shouldn't it? oil in the chamber can increase rearward bolt thrust to a dangerous point as the case can not grip the chamber walls

Some lacquer can transfer to the chamber if there's enough heat and enough rounds fired but usually normal regular cleaning will keep things running just fine. It's the people who shoot lots and never clean that have problems with lacquered ammo, but they will probably eventually have problems with any ammo.

If your shooting fast enough and hot enough that the lacquer is melting off your casings you should learn
1-Rambo is a movie not real life
2- keep shooting to increase barrel and parts wear reducing the lifespan of your firearm
3- chicks don'tlike fast shooters
4- high volume shooting is expensive

This feat is pretty hard to achieve with drum mags, I can't really see this happening with 5 round capacity magazines.

If course there are 10 rd magazines legal in many rifles as well.
Some of the ammo isn't best quality either, as someone else noted earlier. I had some lacquered steel ammo (Tula iirc?) that was just plain messy.
