Hi I was wondering what kind of non steel core ammo you have in stock. Also are you planning on getting anything beyond what you currently have.? If so could you please give an aproximate timeframe. Thanks.

We currently have the PMC 7.62x39, it's 123gr. FMJ. $20.99 for a 20 round box, or $470 for a 500 round case.

I've seen this online for $399.00 per thausand rounds.

Where did you see that?

 

[AlbertaGunslinger]

Well the thing is that MFS has a steel jacket so you can't shoot it at the edge.

Steel core is a problem, steel case is fine.

 

[bollox]

Any steel in the bullet is a no-go at the Edge. Magnetic= cannot shoot there. JR posted about it a month or so ago.

 

[AlbertaGunslinger]

Steel case is fine but the bullet jacket is steel which as stated above is a no go. At least that is what I understand. TSE guys feel free to confirm.

 

[krausb]

Any steel in or on the projectile = sparking = unacceptable fire hazard. No go for indoor shooting.

 

[TSE_Justin]

As Krausb says, it is the projectile we are concerned about. Steel in the projectile = No Go, regardless of whether it's a thin steel jacket or a mild steel core.

i can see that. i've had some steel core stuff shoot fireballs. stuff looks like it has tracers in it. pretty cool acually but i can understand a ranges problem with that

I have a ton of Norc 762x39 and the box says LEAD CORE, did a magnet test and it sticks. Didn't realize the copper jacket is not all copper but thin steel with an even thinner copper jacket. Did a magnet test on Norc 308 and surplus CZ 8mm, both of them stick so again thin steel with a copper jacket over lead.

 

[rookie wildcat]

interested in selling some of that norc ammo? Silver box? Non-corrosive.

 

[TSE_Justin]

If a magnet sticks to the bullet (not the steel case), then there should be steel in the projectile. Unless you know someone making nickel or cobalt cored ammo.
