I bought 50 of these a year or two ago to use in my AR with Bushmaster 7.62x39 upper while deer hunting dark timber. They were poly-coated. Function was great.
Fast forward a few years of zeroing, practice, etc and I'm running out.
So I bought a new box of 50 from Graf and they arrived and "Surprise!!!" these are lacquer covered. I didn't even think lacquer-coated ammo was being produced any longer.
Has anyone shot lacquer-covered 7.62x39 steel in their AR? Did anyone have the dreaded "lacquer build up" in their chamber from shooting this ammo type? The last headache I need is for my bolt to stick at the moment of truth (or any point for that matter).
I"m expecting ballistic and terminal performance to be equal (enough).
Any input helps. AK guys are welcome to chime in.
