Thread: Military Surplus

The reason people used to mod the old .303 ammo is because they didn't haver the choice back then.

A lot of the cheap 7.62x39 rounds are just ''copper washed'' i.e. they don't have copper jackets, just a copper plating on the outside. The core material is often a steel core and wont mushroom no matter what you do to it...and they ricochet like buggery!

Good for rounds down range in an AK or the like just for the shits and giggles, but not ideal for hunting as already been advised by the gunshop. By the time you add up all the hours spent drilling holes in the ends etc...you could just by the SP version for a little more.
