Ok, I have bought re- manufactured before, but this stuff is absolutely horrible!!!!

Its a little dirty.

Cuda told u that haha... i shot 5 rounda of 40sw of there crap before giving the box to the kid in the lane next to me....

Was wondering about that stuff.. Thanks for the heads up.

It shoots though. Be prepared to scrub.

How is it as far as accuracy? I don't care about scrubbing, just shootin'

Its not match but it'll get the job done.

That's all I care about

Besides the smoke and the dirt. it shoots fine... JUST VERY VERY VERY DIrty.....

is it FMJ or lead?

 

if it is lead that is the characteristic of lead ammo, as the flame front pushes on the back of the lead bullet it burns the lead and the impurities in it. that is the smoke you see.. not intended to be shot indoors

I was less than impresed. The stuff I shot was lead and it was seriously smokey. I know what kind of smoke to expect from lead but this stuff might as well be loaded with black powder.

Most of the smoke you see from properly loaded lead ammo is the burning of the bullet lube. I believe you will get some vaporizing of lead if the round is too hot or if the bullet doesn't seal against the barrel. This can be a mismatch in lead type to the "hotness" of the load. You can push a hard cast lead head fast, but not too fast.

 

Different types of lead heads (hardness), powders, lube, and bullet seat in barrel will make a difference. That's why some lead heads have optional diameters when ordering for the same caliber.

I've used it before. It's done everything that I expected it to do. Make Round Holes !

So I am going to be getting into reloading soon once my dillion arrives. Was wondering what makes some ammo dirtier than others, I assume the type of powder. Is dirty powder cheaper and thus the reason some companies use it?

 

Naturally when I begin reloading I would like to stay away from recipes that are dirty. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Main thing is lead. I loaded 38 special with lead and plated but otherwise same powder (bullseye) and the lead smokes a lot due to the lube on the bullet. If you want clean go with plated or FMJ and you have 90% of the 'dirty' ammo problem solved.

Variety of factors. Companies all have their own recipes for powder to achieve a goal. Some good powders might be considered dirty. Some bad ones might be cleaner... (what really makes a powder bad or good?)How you load can effect it, what bullets you use can effect it, unburnt powder.. Working up a good consistent load is difficult, cleaning a gun is easy..

cleaning a gun is easy..

My thoughts exactly when it comes to ammo. I can only speakof factory ammo but Herters, blazers and whatever. The gun is getting cleaned when I get home regardless.

I don't mind the dirt on the gun, it's breathing in that crap!
