WWII ammo

Don't buy ammo that is specifically marked for submachine guns... and don't use anything that could be considered +P hot ammo. Everything else is fair game for shooting.

Go ahead and shoot a couple of the WW2 stuff if you want, but you should use a good bore cleaner that is specifically designed to deal with the effects of corrosive ammo. WW2 American bore cleaner is good. After using it then clean it again using modern stuff... and don't think that shooting non-corrosive ammo after using the corrosive stuff is good enough to get the corrosive material out of your barrel... it isn't.

Good Luck and be safe. Have fun.
