Bizarre Safety Warning from the NRA

[Alan de Enfield]

On another thread on this forum someone commented that the warning was posted up on the notice board at Bisley a week or two ago.

Jumping on the bandwagon ??

I'm using military stuff which is 0.306" Bullet weight not known. - should I panic ?

The cartons are marked :

AB22
20 PATRONE
7.62mmx51 DM111

Los MEN93B0009

I checked with a UK target shooter on another forum and he wrote back that the warning had been up for at least six months.

There were other warnings about use of heavier bullets that were not based on the rifle used mentioned on the UK NRA sites. These were due to damage to backstops and increased range in case of a AD that might endanger built up areas beyond the end of the range.
It started with .338 rifles and the Joules limitation included a number of 7.62 and .308 loads using bullets heavier than 144 grains.
