my sholder likes the lb ammo better and i have good luck with the silver tip shooting good.

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.

Every range carried it as it was non-magnetic. Now it is gone. I am hording my last few boxes.
