It's on brass strippers and $2.50 a pack, don't know how many in the pack. This stuff any good and hows the price?

I've seen and shot all three. They are all very corrosive, but functionally reliable and reasonably accurate ammo. A factory code & date stamp might help in getting more solid info.

Ran some over a chronograph years ago, got a standard deveaition of 1 fps (yep....ONE) really nice ammo. Stuff was made in the 50's but looks brand new, sure fire. (mine is anyway)

Too bad that Clinton banned the importation of it. I have not ever run across any Chinese 7.62X54R ammo, but if it is the same quality of the 7.62X39 and 7.62X51 milsurp ammo, you will most definately not go wrong with stocking up on it. Of course it is corrosive, but so what? Most of the ammo us milsurpers shoot is corrosive, and we have gotten in the habit of proper cleaning for corrosive ammo, so it is second nature to most of us. Heck, I find myself doing the same thing when I am shooting modern day commercial non-corrosive ammo. Old habits are hard to break! But it is a nice habit to have. Curt

How would you rate the brass strippers as far as quality and function?

They work well ONCE. They tend to break very easily at the bends. If you are exceedingly gentle, they may work well for you several times. Most of my M91 rifles are picky about chargers, but the Chinese work well in all of them.
