Default will cheap ammo hurt my gun ?

If I buy a $9 box of .270 ammo, will it hurt my gun in anyway ?

PS. this ammo is just for plinking.

Well, I've never heard of corrosive .270 ammo, so I'd plink away!

is it really old or reloads? if it looks old or reloaded id pull the bullet or if you dont reload have someone that does pull a few and make sure they are ok....and have the rite measurments...or take your chances....

There's not a chance that it will hurt your rifle.

Our local Walmart sells Rem. 270 win ammo for $9.27 if that is what you mean no it wont hurt your gun. If it is something else try and let us know more info about it and maybe someone can give you a better answer .

Unless it is some old, unmarked military stuff (which ain't likely in .270), feel free to shoot it up......and lots of them. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

PMC, UMC, & American (made by Federal) all offer rounds at very reasonable prices and are great for initial sight-in & plinking purposes.
