A good thing to know about Russian ammo is to buy lots of it while you can. :!:

A truth. We all remember that great Yugo stuff that was readily available, only a few short years ago.

I try to buy a spam can of it every month, I just buy mine locally though because its about the same price as mailorder by the time you pay for shipping. Its not a bad thing to have plenty of ammo because it will not go to waste.

Get it while you can, I well remember that Yugo ammo, I was shooting it for over two years, bought something like 6000 rounds of it, and I am down to maybe 500 left.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
