Steel Case .223 Russian Ammo Wolf, Brown Bear, Silver Bear &Tula in my POF USA Gas Piston AR

am going to test four different types of two different manufacturers' .223 Russian ammo in my POF P-415 upper. I will test the following ammo:

Wolf 55 grain FMJ, Silver Bear

Silver Bear .223 62grn HP

Wolf Military Classic .223 55grn FMJ

Brown Bear .223 55grn FMJ

I plan on firing 40 rounds of each. Much like wine tasting, I want to make sure that my upper has a "clean pallet" for each flavor of ammo. I want to know what steps I can take between firing each type of ammo to insure a "fresh start", and be able to accurately note/judge each type of ammo. What I'm trying to see is which type of ammo will feed reliably in this POF upper. I had several stuck cases using Tula 62 grain HP.

Thanks!

2010 Annual Pumpkin Shootout Mossberg 500 Style

November 2010, the annual pumpkin shootout. It was a nice autumn day and perfect for shooting some pumpkins. My brother Pete tried out his new Mossberg 500 for the first time. Those pumpkins didn't stand a chance!

First Real Day of Fall 2010 Shooting Session

My bro. and I took went to the range on what seemed to be the first real day of autumn in the Southeast. Finally, some range time where we were shooting and not sweating bullets.

We took some of the Tula .223 62 grain HP ammo out and sighted in my AR, which didn't like the stuff at all. I had several stuck casings after about 30 rounds. :(

My SAR 3 loved it though. I am tempted to try some of the Wolf 55 gr. ammo in my AR to compare it to the Tula. I don't remember if Wolf is made at the Tula factory or Uly.

Oh, I thought that I through in some mock tactical action for laughs. No offense to those who are serious about that stuff.

Testing the Shockwave Clipped & Pinned SUO Lower on Century Arms C93 Sporter HK 93 Clone

On Saturday I was able to test the Shockwave C & P "SUO" H&K Lower on my Century Arms C93 Sporter (HK 93 Clone).  It was very easy to install and guess what...?...It worked!  No tweaking, adjusting, messing around with anything!  The grip is really nice and a major improvement over the Navy style lower.  It made the rifle a lot nice to look at, and more importantly, a lot more fun to shoot.  For $50, you can't go wrong.  I definitely recommend this upgrade.

 

Smith & Wesson Model 469 9mm Pistol

S&W Model 469

Yet another trip to the countryside "range".  This time I spray painted some milk jugs neon orange, which looked pretty cool after being shot.  The holes showed up well from a distance as the dispersed the painted marked them.

James brought out a S&W Model 469 9mm semi-auto pistol.  It was pretty fun to shoot.  This pistol had a double-action trigger, which took some getting used to.  I came with a 12 round magazine, but I found out that it can use 59 series magazines which hold 15 rounds.  The pistol was all black, with an allow frame. 

The sights were not bad.  The pistol has a yellow line for the front sight and a white "post" for the rear.  It took a while to get used to.  We shot Federal and Remington brass 115 grain ammo.  No problems of any kind.  Overall, it was pretty fun and I wouldn't mind shooting this pistol again.
