Is it safe? They had some in Sarco, so I picked up 2 small bags. I just don't know if it's safe for my gun, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

I have read on the interwebs that a lot of people had duds and hangfires with Iranian surplus 8mm. No personal experience, just what I have read.

Yeah, I saw that too. Hard to find any firsthand accounts of anyone actually using the 30-06. I guess it's fine as long as it doesn't blow my gun up.

I wouldn't trust anything Iranian

I bought about 200 rounds of Iranian 3006 form then a while back and only about 8-10 rounds actually fired through my M1. No hang fires, all duds. Hopefully you got a better batch then I did.

Well that sucks. Can't really return them, so I guess I'll just see what happens. I only have 50, so I should be able to burn through them pretty fast.

I bought like 100 rounds of that stuff from sarcos and only had 10 fired don't wast your money!!!

Lol, well they got me for $32. Lesson learned. Why would they sell such junk? I guess I'll take it to the range and see what happens.

No clue why they still sell it. Im sure they've had problems with pissed off customers trying to return it. Maybe you'll have better luck though, fingers crossed for you.

Because they make money selling it. Who ever does their purchasing probably didn't do any research to find out that the ammo sucks. So instead of eating the bill they are going to sell it to whomever will buy it.

They look nice, I may just remove the powder and primer to have some neat looking dummy rounds.

I have started to do just that all powder was removed from about 30 rounds and bullets too. Wonder if anyone could use the powder?

They (Sarco) could not tell me with any certainty that is was non-corrosive so I passed on it a few weeks ago.

From what I have found, they should be non-corrosive. I really have zero experience with this. how do I pull the bullet without it blowing up in my face?

Tap the primer lightly with a nail and hammer

Haha, so doing it LIGHTLY is the key here. I guess I'll have to pick that up. Actually, I may just go to the range and keep the duds. This way I know the primers are inert.

I'd at least try them before you pull them apart; maybe you'll get lucky and have no problems. If they are all duds meh such is life sometimes. Be mindful of hangfires.

I'll wait about 30 seconds. I hear that hang fires are usually pretty quick. If I have too many duds left over, I'll put the target out to 10 yards and throw them at it.

Did you ever get a chance to try them out?

Funny you should ask, I just shot about 24 rounds today. No misfires, but a few didn't want to cycle the action properly. Additionally, they seemed hotter than Greek HXP. I will shoot the rest of what I have, but I will not buy the Iranian stuff anymore.

Never use any unknown powder. Use it on the grass its high in nitrogen and great fertilizer.
