    hang fires in the reloaded non corrosive 7.62x39

    Finally got to try out the non corrosive 7.62x39 sold by Canada ammo and got an unusually high number of hangfires from it, wondering if anyone else has noticed this with this reloaded ammo

    I have only ran 100 rounds of it in my howa mini action seems to be decent.

    Hangfires or fail to fire/light primer strike? Of they are indeed hangfires and you had multiples from the same lot of ammo I would be concerned

    seeing as it's remanufactured from pulled military surplus,it seems pretty common with this stuff,dont ask for accuracy either,

    they were hang fires. I was also shooting Czech surplus and Barnaul with no issue.

    Yikes. Thats not good at 40 cents a shot. Surplus corrossive for me at less than 30 cents a shot and not one hangfire yet on my recent case.

    I just picked up some of this stuff. Will try it this week and see how it does. It is mixed headstamped surplus so I'd imagine it will be in the 3 to 6" accuracy range from the old SKS.

    Perhaps contact the supplier with the date of purchase so they could potentially trace the lot.

    Did you shoot for accuracy? If so how was it?
