Steel Shootist Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Anyone ever shot this kind of ammo? I'm possibly buying 6000 rounds of it but know nothing about it. It is .22 LR from Russia. The price is reasonable. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have had some good results with light yellow box, brass case stuff from same mfg. Only dislike about that stuff was the greasy lube on the bullets, but accuracy was good.

The price is reasonable. Any suggestions? About 10 years ago this stuff passed through the bullseye world. It was reliable stuff (if the grease didn't foul things up) but the saying was that there was a 5 in every box. Some of those things would just veer off course and cost a lot of points. It wouldn't affect a steel shooter as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 i bought a brick of that stuff in the mid 1990s and it worked OK in my Ruger Mk2. im not sure how much $ they save with a steel case on a 22 though.. Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered him $150 for 6000 and he's ready to sell. But, not sure if it's worth it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I bought some to test it out and it proved to be not exciting in any of my firearms. Blazer shoots much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
