Federal "American Eagle" 7.62x39 - Yay or Nay

[BeaverMeat]

Looking at some cans of Federal American Eagle 7.62x39 FMJs. The price is right for brass cased non-corrosive (.62¢ a round, not including tax and shipping). Anyone famililar with this stuff? Is it any good; accuracy, reusable brass, or is it just throw away blasting ammo? How would it compare to PPU, S&B(commercial), or Fiocchi?

It is reload able brass. Good quality ammo. Way too expensive for non corrosive.

Still cheaper than brass cased PPU and S&B.

Way better groupings with AE than surplus. Went out a few weeks ago and ran a target with milsurp and the other with AE. Wasn't a planned accuracy test, but the AE target was noticably tighter.

Hmm, may have to try this. It'd be nice to have a few hundred empty brass casings lying around should the surplus market ever cease to be. I've always had fair luck with AE ammo. Kinda dirty sometimes, but it goes bang and accuracy is typically half decent. Not like I'm striving for 1/2" groups with the SKS's anyway.
