180 Grain: Bummer!

The Dragunov wants to be fed 150 grain, or I would consider picking up some. Affhand, it sounds like a good deal for the Mosin, which I don't shoot as often.

It isn't surplus, it is new production. I have used their (Olympic) 9x19 ammo, no issues but some who bought their 5.56/.223 ammo had issues. This was few years back and I forget all the details. If you are a member of ar15.com or the FALFiles do some searching at those sites. Not sure if the issues were with just the mouse gun ammo or all rifle ammo.

I've threw both their 8mm & 54R, good for SHTF or Plinking not accuracy. It is Brass Cased, Non-Corrosive but Berdan Prime, not ideal for reloading. Burns dirtyer than most. Not long ago it was $4.50 a Box.......no more.

I've heard this is not very good stuff on other boards. Only a limited amount came in and they apparently didn't order more, if that says anything.
