I asked pirate69 this question; In the 7.62x54r ammo from Russia or Europe, the primers are corrosive, but is the powder corrosive?
He seems to be a knowledgeable guy and he said; no.
I want to buy one of those 440 rd. cans of 7.62x54, pull the bullet, size it down to .308 and use the powder to work up a load for the 300 blackout. I will pitch the garbage steel case and evil primer.
You can get one of those cans for around $100, used to be around $75
I figure that's a pretty good deal for 440 rounds.
What do y'all think? good idea? bad?
