M1 Garand blow up

[Skip]

Sunday a fellow shooter just purchased an M1 chambered in 7.62X51. He never owned or shot a Garand. While he was sighting in I noticed on certain shots there was a muzzle flash. I looked at his loaded clips and he had a selection of LC09 and steel zinc coated Colt ammo. When I see him again I will provide the Youtube video for his consideration.

steel zinc coated Colt ammo

I've never seen that stuff. We get zinc cases MFS ammo up here though. I don't bother with it.
