Birrdog 0 Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Ok, I went to the range the other day, shot my Saiga .308 with some reloades I got from gun show. I also had some factury ammo to. I noticed that on the reloads that after brass was ejected that on the edge on the neck, it flatten a little. I also noticed that after shooting the facturey ammo that on the brass down the side about half way it looked liked it got bent coming out after fireing. Is this normall or is there someting wrong with mt Saiga? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TuffRedneck 0 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 yeah i dont know about other peoples but mine dents the brass pretty bad. surpus stuff it barely marks but any of the softer brass like fedral it dents bad. i think when the shell ejects it strikes the edge of the dust cover and gets itself a nice lil kink.

switlikbob 1 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I noticed that too...it seems like every 1 of 3 gets some kind of dent after the shell ejects...and sometimes the shells hit me in the left hand...especially on my ring finger finfernail...and that shit hurts!

Tokageko 8 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Yep, perfectly normal. These guns were made with steel cases in mind. Not exactly a reloading proposition. Both my 308 and 223 do the same thing. It does seem to be worse with softer brass though... and forget those polymer cased 223... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
