I know that the Ruger Mini-30 has issues with using the inexpensive steel case 7.62X39 ammo available from China and Russia.
I want to know if there are any issues with using this type of ammo in the Model 77 bolt action?
I have tried a few boxes in my M77 rifle and found them to be reasonably accurate and a great low cost plinking round. I had no malfunctions with them although the extraction was a bit harder than with my brass cased handloads.
I want to continue to use them as a plinking round for myself, and as I also use this particular rifle to introduce new shooters to a deer rifle class of firearm, I appreciate a low cost alternative to the brass cased ammo.
Can anyone see an issue with using the steel cased ammo in the bolt action M77?
