Carry Ammo

[Richard S]

This was on a thread on this forum not too long ago on range reports when someone did some testing on newspapers bound together if I remember correctly.  Testing was from an R9.  Some of the sabres deformed strangely, didn't expand, etc. if I remember correctly.  It was enough that I quit using them in the R9 in favor of the gold dots.

This might be the source of what you recalled seeing:

Interesting results for sure.

Just wonder how 147 Hydra shoks would do as well as 147 Golden Sabres though.

Anybody's guess for sure.

Thanks Rich!

Thanks Richard, that was the one.

See my post from last night under "range reports."  Had multiple failures to fire due to hard primers WITH GOLDEN SABRES.  Not sure how old the box was...could have been 5 years but suspect much less.  These occurred in my new Covert but I then switched to my older R9S and experienced the same problem.  If you wish to carry Sabres, would recommend firing part of the box through your R9 to be sure about the primers.

Thanks for the heads up.

I will do a function check with my new batch.
