This ammo has a polycarbonate case with brass bass. Has anyone shot this in their AK's? I have and found the sholder and necks melted to the inner chambers. Anyone else experienced this dilema? Any idea on how to get it out?

I have shot it out of my AR's with no problems. If you can't get it clean, try some shotgun bore solvent that is made to remove plastic. It may work?

I have also shot it out of my AR with no problem. But for some reason my AK's just ate the necks off......I will try the shotgun solvent. Any more ideas out there would be appreciated....Thanks,

News to me; I only know if it being ok in a freind's Bushy.

If the solvent has ammonia, do not let let sit forever in the chamber. It can seep thru pores in the chrome, eat at the copper that binds chrome to steel...

Brass brush only.
