Description
*100ct box of 30-06 Energa Rifle Grenade Blank Cartridges
These are the real deal, arsenal-made, loaded with ballistite. These cartridges were specifically made for launching rifle grenades off 30-06 platforms. These cartridges were loaded in 1954 by Mecar of Belgium, using 1953 head stamped FN 30-06 brass. The ballistite inside the cartridge case has been environmentally sealed by the use of a wax coating/plug on top of the case crimp.
We have had excellent performance out of these 100ct box of 30-06 Energa grenade launching blank cartridges while launching rifle grenades hundreds of YARDS down-range. These should not be confused with the contemporary “grenade blanks” that people are selling to launch grenades. By comparison, the performance out of those “grenade blanks” is dismal, typically only launching the grenade 100-150 FEET. If these blanks are made hotter to try and launch them farther, the result is a dangerous pressure spike that can damage/destroy your gun (and maybe you). The special ballistite powder is designed to give a slower, more progressive, burn of the propellant to launch a large/heavy projectile (rifle grenade). Hot gun blanks should never be used to launch rifle grenades, and these grenade launching cartridges should only be used for launching rifle grenades………..never as a gun blank. Basic rule of thumb being, only use items for their designed purpose. This box of 100 cartridges should last any grenadier quite some time! Always wear hearing and eye protection.
