.308 Barnaul Ammo

[Mad-Dog]

I have read the threads commenting on this ammo. A few posts are quite dated. One user questioned their accuracy, but that did not crop up elsewhere. Others mentioned ejection problems. I intend to shoot at paper, and I don't reload.

A site sponsor has them in stock, steel cases, non-corrosive Berdan primers. Can anyone else share their recent experiences?

Never had an ejector problem in a Norc M305 or a Rem 700. Got a box for free once because the guy couldn't get the harder primers to go off in his rifle (was a Browning or a Savage, I forget, both are known for weaker firing pin springs not working well with harder military primers). They were a little dirtier than my handloads but about on par with some dirtier US factory loads. Accuracy was always mediocre but good enough for plinking. I remember something like 2-3" at 100yds but my handloads are a similar price and can hit under 1" if I'm not having an off day (or am using any of my other excuses ).

If you're looking for blasting ammo, they're good. But don't expect consistent sub-MoA accuracy out of them (though some people have shot some amazing one-off groups with them).
