Barnaul 308 Win (7.62x51)

[yeojholloway]

Just wondering what the general consensus is on this stuff?. Just picked up a case of 500.

I find most/all of the Russian steel-cased commercial .308/7.62 ammo runs pretty hot, and I don't use it anymore in any of my older military rifles. You do, however, often get a nice satisfying ball of flame out of the muzzle.

what are you shooting it out of? I've been using PRC 91 steele cased copper washed for my rem 700p, shoots 1-1.5 moa with it. Just cheap stuff for practicing technique..

That's steel cased? I thought it was brass. Been looking to pick some up and try it.

Le Baron's sells them here in mississauga if you are in the area.

Brass washed steel case. They seem a bit hot, don't shoot too bad about 1½" MOA out of my rifle. Good plinking ammo but a bit dirty.

I bought a couple packs at LeBaron Markham for about $8./20rnds.

I'm going to be shooting this out of my new m305.

Barnaul is good stuff. If it is a good price, you should be buying more.

 

[Beretta-Skeet]

The accuracy is in relation to the price. Not terrible but good for the money.

I ran a few boxes through my 305, and had no problems. But if look at the primmer end where the stamp is (actually they are MFS rounds)!!!!

Where can one pick up some of these around Vancouver?

Old thread, I know. I had two FTF out of 75 rounds in my M14. No problems with hundreds of Norinco rounds tho.
