    Just checking in on carry ammo brass on Ingo. My street stuff is all New Nickel Factory Brass in factory loads. I find it easier to tell the difference at a glance and there seems to be less tarnishing in time. Plus I only have to worry about wiping down my nickel cases. What say you INGO?

    Mostly Hornady brass...but some Federal , some Remington Golden Sabre, and a few Winchester PDX1's.
    I cotton-cloth wipe all of the ammo that goes into a magazine or cylinder, cleaning all oils off of them.

    All ammo is tumbled for 12 minutes. Then rubbed down with a cloth. I then fill each hollow point half full with mercury, and the cover the mercury with wax to seal it in. Try to stop just short of violating the Geneva Convention.

    I like to find those cheap baggies of ball ammo at the gun shows. There are some great bargains right there.

    Gave me an idea. Range pick up rounds. Nothing is cheaper than free.

    One of my instructors who goes by the name of a “athlete type teacher” told me not too pick up free range ammo?

    Conflicting advice on ingo and in the gun world is the norm. Which is a blessing because you can do whatever you want and not be wrong.

    All of my carry mags are loaded with range pickups originally dropped by The OP. I am careful to wear gloves and not disturb his prints when loading my mags.

    Don't they make aluminum cased self defense ammo?

    Not having to worry about recovering your used brass in a self defense shooting would be a plus wouldn't it? :dunno:
