Best Ammo for a Ruger Mini-30
Okay, I've read hundreds of comments in this and other blogs about whether or not the Mini-30 can shoot Wolf ammo. Well, yesterday I actually talked to a gunsmith who has been doing this for a great deal of time.
He told me that he won't shoot Wolf ammo because in essense, it just gunks up the gun and it is dirty. He also alluded to the firing pin issue. He said that if I shoot good quality ammo then I could literally only have to clean the gun once every 2 years. bad ammo = different firing pin + very routine cleaning.
He mentioned Winchester and Remington who both make 7.62x39. But geez, it is expensive.
Does anyone else have any suggestions related to what ammo I should use?
(NOTE: I DO NOT WANT THIS THREAD TO DISCUSS "WHY THE MINI-30 SUCKS" OR THAT I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED ANOTHER GUN. I LIKE THE MINI-30 AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF SELLING IT.)
