[QUOTE="B-LOT Banga, post: 1858037, member: 106734"] The thickest and heaviest 30-06 brass I came across was LC (Lake City) military brass. They where pull down tracer bullets from the Vietnam era. I couldn’t have the loaded bullets sent to me in Hawaii so I bought them pulled and got 1,000 pcs of 30-06 LC brass and 147 gr tracer heads. Great to shoot at late evening on the lava fields but it makes you have anxiety seeing how crazy they zig zag and ricochet especially when they bounce at a 45 degree angle and disappear into the sky. A real eye opener!! The only problem I had was this sticky tar inside the necks, I think the guy who sold me the brass said it was a sealer for wet conditions? I have no idea but it makes sense. Had to use lacquer thinner, a pistol rod and bronze brush... don’t forget your safety glasses... found out [U]the hard way. [/U] [/QUOTE]
