Rifle Ammos Descriptions
8mm Mauser - 198 Grain FMJ - Greek Military Surplus - 960 Rounds *Corrosive*
This is corrosive ammunition. It will cause your rifle to rust up if you do not take extra steps while cleaning. This ammo is also Bedan-primed. Its brass cases are reloadable, but will not accept the Boxer primers that are almost exclusively used for handloading in the United States. Looking for a great deal on 8mm Mauser ammo? Greece produced a whole bunch of the stuff back during the 1930s and ‘40s, but their military fortunately never found a use for it. This ammo has sat around for decades while remaining in remarkably good condition, and we’re shipping it out by the case! This cartridge is loaded with a 198 grain FMJ bullet, which has a solid lead core. We have not yet determined this round’s muzzle velocity, but it is reasonable to assume that the Greek military called for 8mm Mauser ammo with a muzzle velocity of or around 2,600 fps. The ammo’s brass cases bear “PCM†headstamps, and their primers are sealed to help lock out moisture that could impact performance.
45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds
Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
