Lake city is mil spec stuff.

How is it possible that a brass case will attract a magnet? Is it
brass plated steel? Somethings fishy.
If it won't pass the magnet test, it can't be fired at my local range (indoors).
I doubt you are shooting a .308 indoors anyway.
It's the largest allowed at the range.

They allow .30-06 according to their website.

Same basic round.


That's the point. They allow me to blast away with the 7.62X54R from the Mosin Nagant. When it's
there, it's the loudest thing in there!


Most of the "full sized" military 30cal/7.62s or even the German 8mm
are pretty similar in performance. I am just wondering how hard it is
to find russian ammo that is not steel.
My neighbor showed me a 50 cal can, stuffed with rusty ammo and wasn't
sure what it was for. I recognized it right away and thought of you.
Once I told him, he remembered he had an old Nagant around somewhere
but he wasn't sure where. (At the house here, maybe in his other house
in Frostproof or at the hunting cabin). I never heard if he found it.



Wolf is a Russian brand name, but it makes ammo in other countries. The
Wolf Gold I liked, a "brass" bullet and casing, was made in Taiwan...it
was .223 ammo. Shot true, was pretty clean.
