A little expensive, but there doesn't seem to be much else available on the market right now. I'm planning to get out and target / chrono it. Once I do I'll post my results. Upon initial appearance it looks pretty nice. We'll see.......... Wedge *Wedge*

After you try some of it out, please report back here on what your thoughts are on it. Any hang fires? How accurate is it? and such. As for corrosive, I always consider milsurp ammo as corrosive unless I definately know for a fact that it isn't. It isn't worth the risk and it only takes a few more seconds to clean for corrosive ammo and have peace of mind. And I remember all too well when we scoffed at any milsurp ammo that was over 20 cents per round. I set my price limit at 35 cents per round and would not pay any more than that. But the days of good cheap milsurp ammo are over, unfortunately, and we have to now pony up what we always thought was horrendous prices. Enjoy it while it is still available, and that applies for any caliber of milsurp ammo it seems. Curt Last Edited By: m1 talker 11/24/07 12:35 PM. Edited 1 times.

Just for comparison is my personal favorite South African below. Wedge *Wedge* Last Edited By: wedgehead30 11/26/07 12:39 PM. Edited 1 times.

I've shot one bandolier and put the other away and keep banging away with the HXP brass cased reloads. And now with the South African brass until the berdan primers are used up.

He'll combine shipping and offer you more than what is listed in the auction if you want. I bought some and it ended up at about 45 cents a round shipped. Great looking ammo. Have not tried it yet, but from what has already been said, looking forward to it. Larry
