    Interesting. Cheers Beavis.
    10,000 rounds without a malfunction is impressive no matter what you're shooting.


    "The steel cases themselves don’t have any effect on the condition of the bore". I wasn't aware of that. I hear often people saying the steel cases can damage the receiver and barrel. These guys say it doesn't. It's just a little rougher on the extractors.

    After thousands of rounds without cleaning, the internal components were… unclean.



    10,000 rounds of Federal 55gr, 10,000 of Wolf, 10,000 of Tula, 10,000 of Brown Bear = a shite load of fun.

    10,000 rounds even at 60c a pop is still 6k

    While you are at it Ryan, ask him whether he likes green or yellow butterflies. May also have some bearing on brass versus steel. You will never know unless you ask.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Would have been good to throw in some steel cased copper jacked lead projectile stuff like the Hornady Training ammo for a fairer steel/brass case comparison.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
