In every other test, the lacquered rounds seem to do better than the polymer coated ones.
Yes. Good find, I edited the post to correct this, thanks!Quote:

Maybe I just know too many people with gun OCDs. So I suppose I'm venting. You're supposed to be the shoulder I cry on! Have a heart man!Quote:

Now that is commitment. Excellent study for the benefit of all. Incidentally, I heard years ago that it was extreme temperatures that degraded ammo by breaking down the powder. Seems odd since I know ammo must be getting hot riding in boxes on vehicles in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe it just degrades it so it doesn't burn as cleanly.
Please send all ammunition more than ten years old to my residence. This ammunition is beyond it's freshness date and I personally will take responsibility for it's proper destruction [Sarcasm2]
Thank you for conducting your test and sharing your results. I admire your diligence. [Beer]
Repeated chambering of ammunition has been proven to cause failures. So has carrying the same ammo down bumpy roads for long periods of time.Quote:
