@michaelatkin9649 No, this ammunition isn't dangerous. The worst people have come across is people repackaging the corrosive surplus ammunition into the non corrosive packaging like you see on screen, causing the gun to rust. The ammunition is new production and perfectly safe, been through about 5k rounds of it myself in 2024. Guess your milage may vary though.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! As for what I mean, crimping is used to help ensure the projectile is kept in place and the Over All Length (OAL) is harder to change. The drawback of crimping is that you're shortening the lifespan of the casemouth because you're crimping it. So balancing the use of crimping is key. I only really crimp my brass if I know they're going to be used in an context in which the cartridge may experience OAL changes, like if I'm transporting them in ammunition bandoilers/pouches while hiking. In my opinion, if you're using modern brass, either new or prefired, you don't have to crimp it at all. The brass casing wears out as a whole before the case mouth does. Although this is can be different between manufacturers of brass, so be sure to take that into account. If you're reloading old military surplus, you may want to consider a crimp, as military stuff is not might to as high tolerance as modern commercial stuff. Lastly, in the video, I was specifically talking about crimping cast lead bullets, usually you don't apply a crimp to cartdiges using cast bullets, depending on the softness of the alloy the crimp may impede on the lead. This may deform the projectile slightly causing accuracy issues. There are other issue that can arise when crimping lead bullets, but that mostly occurs if you apply too much of a crimp.

@mahdimohseni717 highly depends on where you live. I got mine for 399 CAD. Although you can't buy handguns because our dear leader in Ottawa needed a way to up his approval rating. What good that did... In the states, I've seen the price fluctuate since these are becoming "collectors pieces". But GunBroker Has some on auction starting at ~380$ USD

@TabarnakATF in Canada I thing according to new rules buy and ownership of pistols is banned by government of Canada I heard about this law approximately 3 years ago

@@mahdimohseni717 they "froze" purchasing new ones. But if you still have them, you get to keep them.

In inspector no.3 we trust

Most surplus from former communist bloc countries do. This stuff though is new production from China. Technically not surplus. I've got a couple cans of corrosive 7.62x54mmr that's packed in a can.

Thanks for stopping by.

@nah5.45 Good to know, any clue on the bottom?

@@TabarnakATF the bottom is the date code. the international cartridge collectors association has a list of all known codes and which factory they correspond to

Yeah, thank you.insp3ctor no. 3 for the instructions.

The shirt's indeed from there. Thanks for the advice!

It's a Lee handloader kit. They come in a red box. This particular one is for .303 British.

Lmao, I'm blind sided by the traction this short got. I mainly put this up to save the reloading specs. I'll be removing background noise in the future.

@DENTNT Making them yourself usually results in cheaper per cartridge costs. Also allows you to fine tune your ammo to your rifle.

@@TabarnakATF возможно, просто я отношусь к оружию как к расходному материалу, и точно не стану выяснять нюансы, что заложено производителем, на том и выбор. для вас видимо это хобби, хорошего времяпровождения))
