Title: Brown Bear steel case laquered ammo?
Post by: sled on October 15, 2012, 09:40:00 PM: How hard is this steel cased laquered ammo on a rifle? Thinking about shooting in my Springfeild SOCOM. Mostly stock ammo for armegedon. :chuckle:

I have heard a rumor that the lacquer will melt off and gum up a AR15, but after putting 100 rounds through one in a short amount of time (took 5 other family member shooting and I was too lazy to reload that much ammo the night before) I saw no signs of anything like that happening.

Does your Socom have Chrome lined barrel? If so you should be fine.
