steel core ammo is illegal.
SS-109 is steel core and can be bought all day legally..
steel core ammo is illegal. the russian ammos bullet is a lead core w/ copper jacket the same as EVERY other bullet you will fire. steel ammo is mearly the casing and neither will cause exessive wear on the rifling.
corrosive ammo when fired and the bore not cleaned WILL erode the rifling.
I was shooting some russian ammo, when an old-timer tells me that he heard in a gun store that some guy bought 1,000 rounds of russian 223 & after shooting it his MINI-14 had no rifling left.
Edited to be closer to reality.
Also, lifetime licenses are going away next year.
