Videos tagged with Brass Cased Ammo

This video tests the reliability and accuracy of 7.62x39 ammunition from Belom, X-Force, and New Republic brands in a Bear Creek Arsenal AR-15. The presenter notes that all ammunition proved reliable and the rifle functioned without issues, a positive change from previous range trips. Accuracy was hampered by an oversized red dot sight, unsuitable for longer distances, and the rifle was not zeroed. The creator apologizes for the video's quality and plans a revisit. The focus is on the rifle's performance with different ammunition types.

True Velocity's polymer-cased ammunition offers significant weight savings but faces critical reliability issues. Testing revealed inconsistent velocity, light primer strikes, and catastrophic failures in firearms with fluted chambers. While innovative, the high cost and unproven performance make it unsuitable for widespread commercial or military adoption currently.

This video compares brass-cased and steel-cased ammunition for rifle use, addressing common myths and concerns. USCCA Director of Content Kevin Michalowski explains the differences, pros, and cons of each type, specifically discussing potential damage to an AR-15's bolt carrier group or barrel and issues with lacquer-coated steel ammo. The content concludes that steel-cased ammunition is acceptable for plinking and training with rifles like the AR-15 and AK-47. A giveaway is also promoted.

This video debunks the myth that steel-cased ammunition damages firearms. While modern steel cases are safe for general use, historical issues stemmed from corrosive primers. Steel cases can cause increased extractor wear and carbon blowback due to being less malleable than brass, but the cost savings generally outweigh potential maintenance needs. Certain platforms like the AK-47 are designed for steel, and modern AR-15s also handle it well.

This review debunks the myth that shooting steel-cased ammunition followed by brass-cased ammunition causes extraction failures in handguns. Through a live-fire test using a CZ P-07, firing 100 rounds of Wolf steel-cased 9mm followed immediately by LAX brass-cased ammunition, zero malfunctions occurred. The speaker, with over 30 years of experience, concludes this myth is invalid for handguns, warning against internet misinformation.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for longevity and safety. Maintaining a stable temperature between 68-72°F is ideal, as extreme heat (above 130°F) degrades powder and primers, while extreme cold only temporarily reduces power. Avoid touching ammo with bare hands to prevent corrosion. Hermetically sealed containers like Fiocchi 'Canned Heat' or military 'spam cans' are excellent for long-term storage, supplemented with silica gel packs and greased seals to combat moisture.
