I thought I'd drop a dime on these when I saw them at Atwoods. 49.99
I'm not fond of imported ammo. Usually find something wrong with it.
Sort of the same here. I'm having ejection problems with the Rossi Plinker, and the cylinder starts to drag real heavy after about the 6th round (case heads are expanding, and riding against the shield). Two cylinders full, and have to use a jackhammer to get the cases out, and there's a ton of trash left in the chambers. Trash includes circular lead shavings, and brass particles. There is also lead on the outside of the cases, just behind the mouth.
Heritage Rough Rider digests them like all other ammo. Flawlessly, no problems removing spent cases. Same amount of trash left in the chambers though, and lead on outside of case mouth.
+1 for American handguns, +1 for American ammo (all US made stuff runs perfectly thru both guns). Thumbs down on import ammo again.
To be fair (I guess), the Rossi is finicky. Hates anything beyond 1300fps, or slightly below. But for what they get for them, they shouldn't be ammo prima donna's.
I'd say......take a pass on the Armscor, unless you have something that will eat garbage, and come up with a smile.
IMHO
