Rifles Descriptions

308 - 150 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 500 Rounds

Just to be sure, this 308 Win ammo was not made for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army by the Soviet Union and then stored in a rickety warehouse for several decades. “Red Army Standard” ammo is made in Russia – very recently, and with non-corrosive Berdan primers that won’t blast the inside of your rifle with caustic residues. This 308 ammo is a budget-friendly choice for target shooting because it contains so much steel, which is a much cheaper metal than the copper that is usually used to make bullet jackets and cases. This round’s 150 grain bullet possesses a deformation-resistant bimetal jacket. It’s copper-washed on the exterior and has a lead core, but the steel which comprises the majority of a bimetal jacket does indeed make this bullet magnetic. Steel cases drive this ammo’s price tag even lower. They are designed to cycle efficiently through any kind of rifle, and they are also coated with low-friction and corrosion-resistant polymer. Steel’s main shortcoming? It doesn’t have the ability to contract back to its original dimensions following ignition, which makes reloading a steel case so difficult that it’s usually best not to bother trying!
