I know and the older I get the horse sets higher. I guess I unload on the few that the many have ruined it for as far as I am concerned.
I belong to over 15 conservation clubs and sportsman facilities here in the Midwest. Maybe the OP is pure as driven snow but I can show you a lot of steel crap on the ground and damage to our ranges with many of these. Also the nature of these questions reminds me of the three ruptured and fused Bolts I had to clear to safely get the shooter and his equipment off the range. Just trying to educate before someone gets hurt again or disrespects the range
where I like to shoot.
I got a crappy steel .223 case stuck in a single shot once, I'll save steel for the commie guns now.
So sorry some of us poor folks have ruined it for you. Seems like a man of your stature would have his own private range and not bother with the common folk. I don't belong to 15 facilities but the 2 that I go to don't have any cranky old farts worrying about steel casings. We just shoot and enjoy our time together. I guess we have it all wrong.
Not trying to get into a pxssing match with you but this is a forum and perhaps some education can be good.
Well, leave it to INGO to present some info that is new but plausible.
Frank, do you have anything to back up what you're saying about powder and primers eroding barrels? Also, if steel case ammunition causes higher pressures shouldn't that result in higher bullet velocities? Steel case is usually lower velocity than high end brass ammo. Also, have you bought any steel case ammo lately? The Russians aren't even trying to fool anyone into thinking their bullets are copper jacketed/copper washed/spray painted by Ivan anymore. See the picture below.
There can be no teaching without learning. A wise man once said we have the most dignity when we are born. What’s important is how much one has left. Good luck to you.Yet you did not educate but chose to attack the OP for asking a question. While you think of a smart reply tell us where you found a "American Made" digital device to post on this forum.
I do have my own private range as well. Not trying to get into a pxssing match with you but this is a forum and perhaps some education can be good. Being poor is no excuse to litter our grounds and play with substandard crap. American made products are cheaper in the long run as they work and are responsibly manufactured within safe guidelines. And, the I live in and support America, not Russia. I am not high in stature or financially wealthy but I do pursue the shooting sports and work hard to make my sport cost worthy and enjoyable for others. Cranky old fart? I can live with that. Beats not caring.
