I was in the Mississauga store on Wednesday (2 days ago). They said they had a half pallet left. I expect it all gone by now, or almsot all gone.

They said they only received 100 cases, and no more, soon.

I went to the Mississagua branch today to pick up another case, as of 2:00pm there was 8 crates left. The cashier said they were out yesterday, but the boss got some in today..

I was there yesterday and they sold a crate to a guy infront of me in line...not sure how many left tho

I shot some of the Russian ammo in the CQB today. It all went bang and functioned just fine. Have not yet tested for accuracy.

Hey, ive open 2 crates and there is one crate that has brass case, other stuff looks like the copper wash norinco stuff the copperwash stuff is 60 over 51 (factory 60 1951?) and the brass is 60 over 50 made in 1950?

 

[luke s]

Very interesting! I'll have to take a closer look at mine! I suspect even if it is brass, they'll still be corrosive and almost assuredly berdan primed so still not easily reloaded. Still ...... interesting!

Lucky you!... even if you cant reload the brass, maybe youll get some cash back for selling the brass at a reputable scrap metal buyer.

Could you reload if you drilled a hole in the centre on a lathe, for a modern primer?.

 

[sly mantis]

Damn, just checked my cases and all mine is the copper washed stuff. Its still berdan primed but i would have liked to have given reloading this stuff a shot.
