Machine-gun Ammunitioin

02 Nov 07

Important note from a reloader:

"Most military 308 brass that is available on the commercial marketwas designed for use in, and subsequently fired through, machine guns. In order to insure reliability, machine-gun tolerances, including headspace, are generous. Accordingly, cases fired through machine guns typically stretch considerably. They are thus particularly disposed toward separation when reloaded and fi red again in autoloading weapons.

I've seen such brass come apart under no more stress than being resized in a sizer die. This stuff is doubly risky when fired in a FAL with the valve closed!"

Comment: We agree. Keep reloads out of your FAL and all other military, autoloading rifles.
