30-06 Ammo

[rynigner]

Hey all,
I just got a new 30-36 for christmas, and am in need of ammo. I have found places I can get mil surplus pretty cheap, but "voids warranty" to shoot it. The ammo description claims it to be non-corrosive and boxer primed, so is there a reason to stay away from it for gun health? any and all info is welcomed and appreciated...

Check Wal-Mart for ammo. If you value your rifle feed it good stuff.

Thats true.The way i look at it is id never put cheap gas in my truck so why run cheap ammo through my rifle.

[rynigner]

I can respect that, but have to ask why? What makes it undesirable for use?

[spencer0071]

what kind of ammo is it? Steel case?

what kind of rifle did you get? Does it have an accuracy minimum?

[rynigner]

I have a savage 116fhss and the ammo I have found is brass

Substandard casings bad primers and alot of times the bullet quality isnt the greatest.Cheap bullets usually foul your barrel quicker than good quality ammo.I shoot winchester ballistic silvertips out of all my rifles,it isnt cheap but ive never had any problems either.Hope this helps.

Just get yourself some Remington Express Core-Lokt's or some Winchester SuperX Power Points. They're relatively inexpensive, and have worked great in my rifles.

You have to keep trying different brands until you find the one your gun shoots best. High price doesn't mean the best accuracy.

Well if you are close to a Wal Mart get ya a few boxes of Federal Classic ammo. It runs 9.99 a box here. Its damn good stuff for the price...used to be higher than the core loktsand the power points but the fusion ammo came out and the price dropped. Power shok bullets are great for deer as about 50 have fallen to them from my guns..lol. Core-lokts would always come highly reccomended as well.
