i just got my first ak (WASR 10) a few months back, and iam new to steel cased bullets, from what ive been reading it seems like polymer is better, but i loaded my magazine with polymer coated bullets and had the gun in my room for not even a month and when i removed my mag from the gun and looked the polymer coated casing was covered with rust, not to bad but way more than i want on them, so iam just wondering if lacquered coated bullets would be better? could it be i handeled the bullets to much and the sweat from my hand made them rust?
ive shot some lacquered coated caseing's, about 20 but when i went to clean the gun, the bolt face was covered with lacquer? i dont mind it really because cleaning after i shoot is no problem, but if SHTF about how many rounds could i shoot of lacquered coated before i start having problems?
sorry so many ???? but i got plenty more....none of my lacquer ones have rusted so really i like them better.....what do u think about them?

Lacquer definitely is better protected against rusting but it does make a mess in your rifle. I have never personally had any cause for immediate action because of lacquer, not sure if others have. The most I have put through with out cleaning has been about 300 or so in a single sitting.
