Average shelf life of an indian Ammo .32

[veeveeaar]

Friends, six months ago , while practicing with .32 IOF long revolver , the bullet was just spit out i.e., it fell away at about 8 to 10 feet. Some rounds make my ears ring and a few throw some nasty smell and taste at my lips .In my place, an old saying goes like this "" If you associate yourself with a donkey , be ready to get kicked by affectionately."" . .So IOF is the D.......Y here.

Two questions :-
1. How old is your ammo ? (I presume it is KF)
2. What vintage/mark is your IOF revolver ?

How the hell do you manage to get powder residue on your lips? Are you holding the revolver level with your face when you shoot it?

At times it feels that IOF is really distributing 'jhunjhuna' @ Rs.83,000/+

Is it really. What makes you say that. Please elaborate with relevant fact. Otherwise your quote is really misleading.

Well it seams that your revolver chamber and the barrel has some uneven gap with leads to loss in pressure and the burnt gunpowder is thrown out of that gap , that you can feel on your face.

1-what is the average healthy life of an indian ammo .32(has anyone experienced any problem firing 3-4 year old ammo).
-i was told that in mumbai a licencee is alloted a quota of 250 grains per year whereas in UP its only 25,why this difference.
Please someone guide me through this and do forgive my ignorance.

I dont think a 4 year old amno will have any problem. Always keep new amno . Keep rotating the amno by buying new one every year

hi all,
today saw a you tube video, a Man shooting his Mark III IOF.its pretty good shots he has played from a distance of 15 mtrs.i would request all members discussing this post to watch it.
our IOF is not all that bad infact it is good,as i read in some post mr.grewal has said that misfires could happen with foreign made handguns too.and i have seen it happening with my uncle's webley.
Friends i would like to tell you something,iam a mechanical engineer working on foreign ship's,after getting my license i had enough budget to get any webley or smith,but as i knew that i will have to compromise with a min. 25 year old stuff,i decided to stick with our brand new IoF.
as i know that it is a piece of machine,and machines being my bread and butter,i can say that efficiency of any machine depends upon its technology and its material (and offcourse its operator),as for technology there is not much change(in case of rev. And pistols),but material believe me my friends its way-way ahead of what we had 2-3 decades back,just for example we use to have 4 inch ship side plating 30 yrs back,but for ships build up presently we have about 1 inch ship side plating ,which is even stronger and more durable.it is because of infinite material analysis.
so what my PERSONAL opinion is a brand new handgun manufactured in india or may be in nepal is much better than 30 year old 'firrangi' gun.
My friends as the old saying goes "ghar ki murgi daal barabar" we all have good reasons to have wet dreams of foreign handguns.
