[ironsniper1]

hey everyone i was at academy sports the other day picking up a gift for my uncle and looked in the ammo section and saw that they started carrying this ammmo and was wondering if anyone here has used it and what you thought of it? it was $8.99 for a box of 20 rounds

Comparable to Wolf. Works great in my rifle. I've not fired it from a bench, but seems accurate enough for informal plinking.

I've shot a lot of the Monarch .223 lacquered case steel and it's fine, highest FPS of 4 Russian rounds I did chrono on. AFAIK, all the Monarch lacquered steel calibers are rebranded Barnaul Brown Bear.

More than double the price of surplus, OUCH............................That may be our only choice in a few years, commercial fodder at twice the price once all the surplus dries up.

It's not more than double anymore with the prices that I see for surplus these days, but it is close. Surplus 7.62x54R ammo will eventually go the way of .303, 8mm, 7.62x25, etc. surplus ammo...and commercial ammo will become a better deal, especially if you reload.

the price of surplus started going up right after newtown, as before that there was a website selling surplus so cheap you could get four 440 round tins for about $130 shipped, but i dont mind paying the price i payed as its local and dont have to pay shipping

Non corrosive is worth the price to me.
