Typo ??

I got a crate of that stuff. Hard to beat for value that's for damn sure. It's reloadable brass too; boxer primed and non corrosive.
 
DAMN ! ! ! Called , Chris told me that quantities would be updated in the evening.... Go out with daughter to sell empties.. come back.... SOLD OUT......

Any idea whe you will get more ? I should have kept my mouth shut ! ! !
 
Great price doe sure!!!

Still hesitant on shooting bi-metal bullets (in high volume) through my barrels tho.

Bi-metal bullets while cheaper WILL and DO wear out barrels much, much faster.

I would think that with the copper plating on the steel jacket, it'd take somewhere in the several 10s of 1000s of rounds before you'd see any wearing down of the rifling, wouldn't it?

...The rounds CASING has NOTHING to do with it. Its the bullet jacket/core that does and yes the JACKET is copper but the CORE is bi-metal and that is the issue.

Maybe do some research/have the correct info before you try to prove points!!!

At 6,000 rounds the barrels shooting bi-metal were "shot out with" with rounds starting to tumble. Noted before that their accuracy was constantly going down hill until the point (reached at 6,000) where it was no longer acceptable.

I'd shoot this ammo is cheap/easily replaceable guns/barrels such a a low-mid grade AR-15, VZ-58 or T-97 (these guns are also not MOA anyways). If you took $2,000 worth of bi-metal ammo and 2-3 years to burn out a gun worth under $1000 or barrel worth only a few hundred then that was a good deal.

A custom long range gun or high end gun...like a HK MR223/556 or a Tavor/Swiss Arms where its not cheap/easy to change out and/or replace barrels I would NOT shoot bi-metal in them.
