So bottom line saving a few bucks is just not worth it, to me at least. An LWRC if memory serves, expensive piston AR. (A friend's AR10 was so fouled that new brass cased federal wouldn't chamber) I took him many an hour scrubbing, brushing and much solvent to get it out. The sight blade itself is well protected by two ears of steel that protrude. When the chamber heats up it'll melt and foul you chamber big time. The Springfield M1A Scout Squad is a rifle that was the gun that is mostly. (My M1A has NO issue with it, so I'm blaming the hammer spring on the Timney) no other ammo has given me an issue with the Timney.Īlso, when using steel cased ammo, they put either a lacquer or polymer coating on it to inhibit corrosion. I do have a Timney in my SCAR and it doesn't like Hertenberger ammo, (hard primers) and doesn't go bang all the time. Keystone19250 Ronin 3 I don’t run steel in any of my guns including my M1A. As far as steel If it’s all you can getnever run it in mine, actually don’t have any in. With my 3.5k gun I certainly won't put that stuff in it. 308, but I’d look for domestic 7.62x51 American Eagle makes it, as does Winchester.

From ka-booms to case head separation to stuck rounds to not chambering because of case issues Yes its safe to use just make sure you put some extra elbow grease in while cleaning your rifle as the cheaper stuff can be dirtier. Never rifle ammo.Īt my gun club I've seen too many "incidents" with folks using steel cased ammo. Is 308 steel cased ammo safe to use on my loaded M1A stainless Only if the ammo is stainless steel to match the rifle. I think maybe 2 boxes total and that was during the 2013 ammo shortage. One thing I've never done is shoot steel cased ammo except some in.
