I haven't fired my M44 in several months, so I went to the range Sat.
Opened up a pack of 1946 surplus and this is what happened on my first 4 shots. Even had a hang fire.
Was tough to extract, but I stopped shooting that stuff after this and shot sone of my 70s surplus for rest of day with no issue. I've shot hundreds of 1970s surplus 7.62 with no issue before this.
The steel cases feel lighter and have a higher pitched ring than my later surplus?
I have 3 more packs of this stuff, but I buy at different shops so not sure where I got this. Anyone else having an issue like this with some 40s ammo?
