Ok, here goes..

I just purchased a ruger mini thirty, and I love it. Accurate enough to get the job done and fun to shoot. I just have one question...Wolf sells ammunition in the 7.62x39mm size that I need, and it is cheap, very cheap. Better than paying 8 bucks a box for winchester or remington, this is around 2-2.50 a box. My only concern is that this ammo, made in russia could possibly damage my new mini thirty. I have talked to the gun shop dealer and he says the russian ammo shouldn't cause a problem in a .308 american bore, being as the ammo is made for an AK or SKS at .309 - .310, which is hardly any difference at all, but might cause more fouling than normal.

Any opinions/facts on this? I don't want to destroy the rifling in my barrel or have to clean it every 10 shots.

Thanks,


Eric
