bi-metal jacketed ammo
I ordered two cans of this http://www.sgammo.com/product/308-wi...-grain-bi-meta
before seeing the words "bi-metal" jacket in the ad in big letters...
simple question..is this safe to shoot in my expensive gas guns?

Re: bi-metal jacketed ammo
Its not going to choke your gas system if thats what your asking. Steel/copper clad jacket. Berdan primer. Would lean corrosive if I had to guess.

Re: bi-metal jacketed ammo
some ranges don't allow it. if a magnet sticks you may not be able to shoot it.

The steel used for jackets is very mild , much softer than the hardened chrome-moly steel of the barrel , and the copper plating acts as a lubricant.
