What a great story! Ive heard of people doing that with other milsurp ammo with good results.
I started thinking about how you passed the gun up, for the ammo. I can safely say that I would’ve got the rifle and called it a day. I’m notorious for buying a rifle and not shooting it. In the last three months I’ve shot 3 rifles that I’d bought over 15 years ago, for the first time.
Handgun stories are more than welcome too. Share away.
