I've just ordered two Polish M44s from Southern Ohio Guns and I'm seriously considering the puchase some of the 7.62x54R ammunition they're offering as well. It's the silver, color-coded tip Czech ammunition of 60's-80's manufacture that I believe may possess a mild steel core.
I'm wondering if this ammunition should be restricted to outdoor ranges as opposed to indoor ranges if indeed it does feature a mild steel core.
The indoor range I usually frequent allows for practically any kind of rifle and utilizes a dry snail trap with a rubber "debris" hopper to eliminate fragment splash-back (to the best of my knowledge).
I don't know if such a set-up can handle such rounds, but at $2.99 a box, it's something I'm thinking about investing in.
If anyone has any further info on this ammo, I'd like to hear that as well.
