    Yes. Your generation never did anything bad. Flawless human beings, every last one of you...

    In my favorite dream I'm on the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Rosie O'Donnell is also on spouting some dumb s**t. So I swing a large Northern Pike like a bat and smack her right in the fat yap. Debbie Travis and Sarah Palin coo seductively. Johnny and Ed high five me. The audience gives me a rousing standing ovation. Later we pick up Dean and Jerry and head over to Hef's.

    Lets all get along here please.

    Just a quick question as I've never bought or even seen steel core. Do you have any issue with the surplus, Norinco, or Dominion FMJ steel jacket with lead core? How can you tell between the two different types?

    My range allows all ammo at the moment but some idiots keep using their SKS on the indoor range even though it's only for 2000fps or less.

    I have no issues with lead core ammo at all. Bi-Metal jackets may spark a bit, but since we started vacuuming the ranges, a fire is a lot less likely. ;-)

    If someone comes in and we do not know for sure, we just take a round back to teh gunsmith and they take it to the grinder: Steel core = no, lead core = yes.

    Ah, helps to have the grinder on hand. Was thinking the magnet trick wouldn't be much help. Good enough for me. Thanks for the reply.

    Hi JR

    Did the rules recently change on the bimetallic lead core stuff? is this allowed?

    I've seen some 1/4" AR500 plates take much less damage than in the pics from steel core milsurp 7.62x39. That said, how the heck do they manage to shoot THAT high off the target that's at least 1.5-2' lower than the carriage?
