Nickle Plated Cases and Bullets
@ 03:25 pm (GMT) |
Thomas PavelkaPicked up a couple of boxes of Federal Trophy Bonded ammo for the 06. Stuff looks nasty. Nickle plated cases and bullets. Wondering if the nickle is a good thing for the rifling since it's harder than copper? |

Nathan FosterRe: Nickle Plated Cases and BulletsWe were still shooting Nickle .303 right up to the early 90's (Mk.7).I have never really given it a thought sorry Thomas, I just shoot it. The gilding layer is quite light. Just there for corrosion resistance (or show). I have not even bothered to check if it results in less fouling or whether the fouling could become stubborn like moly. Funny how these things crop up and make you wonder. Food for thought huh. |
