Anybody notice the incoming ammo on Westrifle?

What's the big groove in the case on this .308?

Also, I assume copper = copper washed steel case or just copper, while "bimetal" means brass (copper and tin)?
 
Price will be the biggest factor. Non-corrosive isn't worth double the price of Czech surplus, to me.

Still cheaper than reloading. Plus you can minus the 8 hours of cleaning your rifle.

Well, maybe not cheaper, but close. Components and powder are getting expensive, plus time behind the bench.
 
Not the copper-washed steel cases, no. Brass cases MIGHT be - depends on the primer type. And even if they are reloadable, they might be berdan primed - doable, but not usually economically viable.

I think we will have to wait and see.
 
bimetal means that the copper and steel are rolling together at a mill, rather than plated. The bimetal sheet is cupped and drawn as usual. You can tell bimetal cases by the absence of copper in the extractor groove.

Hmm Ukrainian M43..should be interesting. I assuming its non corrosive.
 
Price will be the biggest factor. Non-corrosive isn't worth double the price of Czech surplus, to me.

X2. I am quite certain that when non corrosive finally shows up in this country that we are going to be fleeced for it. We have had corrosive for so long that the dealers will think that we will do anything and pay anything for non corrosive.

If it is even close to twice the price, I will be shooting Czech stuff forever.

yeah, I noticed the tiny hole also.

So is the large ring to further ID a drill round, or for expansion as CanAm says?
(not to imply that I doubt anything that CanAm says, ammo related;) )
If the live rounds have the ring in them, I'm buying a box just for the cartridge collection!
 
Fellow CGN this is dummy rounds I had them shipped to Canada for presentation purposes to dealers and NRcA. The only way I could get those in without NRcA approval . Prices will be posted once I get those in our warehouse ( Sept 2010 hunting season) I have to have all the cost of shipping and customs clearance.
I looked at all the pics on the site and I noticed all the rounds showed them with fired primers. I didn't notice much for text on the page. Are the ones coming in supposed to be new and ready to hire or are they for reloading?
 
Will you be bringing the 7.62x39 in case lots of 1200?

I could use a cheap and non-corrosive source of 7.62x39 ammunition.
