New LCW 9mm Luger ammo $179.99 per case

Just got my package yesterday, blasted 250 rounds a few hours ago.

It's decent ammo for the price but it's really inconsistent in the accuracy department. It also leaves a lot of red crap in the guts of your gun.

With that being said, I'll probably end up buying more since it's so cheap.

the site mentions "FMJ bullet with steel core" for the 7.62x39 but for the 9mmx19 it only says "FMJ bullet with lead core" ... not exactly definitive but it doesn't mention steel at least while the other mentions steel explicitly.

yup your right ,, are these reloadable? or berdan non reloadable?
 
Is this corrosive? I was looking at the tulammo and it stated berdan primed non corrosive, would it be safe to assume the lcw is also non corrosive. Also is shooting corrosive harmful to glocks?
 
Look at the start of thread, CanAm stated it was non-corrosive, lead core and had bi-metal (plated steel) jacket with steel case.
You can not use this on any ranges that disallow steel-jacketed ammo.

I don't think this would be a problem for indoor ranges. This guy explains it pretty good. Best to ask your indoor range dudes before you plan on buying, if you are worried about it.

Bi-metal is an alloy that contains "soft iron" and is usally copper coated. It's fine for keeping prices down. It will not harm your barrel or cause accellerated wear. Clean as you would to remove normal copper jacket fouling, as that's what the deposits will consist of primarily.

Normally, bullets of this construction are more prone to sparking on impact and can cause brush fires in dry areas if you shoot outside during hot summer days especially out west.

The core is lead so no worries there. As another poster said earlier, it's all common sense, an indoor range owner shouldn't ban those. It's not harmful to their backstops. The only actual "steel" on the bullet is a thin layer of alloy steel that's not really harder than copper. They are other brand of ammo that uses steel core, those are the one to lookout for as they can/will potentially damage indoor range backstops.

I'll check again but I'm under the impression that anything that fails the magnet test, is not allowed.
 
Here's the text they use:

If a magnet sticks to the bullet (not the case) of your ammunition, it is steel jacketed and cannot be shot on the range, even though the bullet may look like copper.

I think that pretty much excludes bi-metal ammo.
 
Has anyone ever done a nail test or anything with the LCW 124gr 9mm? I am considering buying some but I cannot find much info about the LCW ammo. All I have really found it that their 5.45x39 was being sold as non-corrosive but was in-fact corrosive, according to a bunch of people on the internet at least.

Are you all absolutely positive that it's non-corrosive?
