Russian ammunition imports will continue for another year and a half.

Backdoor gun control, right up The JoeLitburo’s authoritarian jackboot [joeboot] alley.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I was wondering why we still have plenty of Wolf and Tula coming in, thanks for the information.

That’ll show Putin!/sarc

batnaul makes decent hunting ammo, I would get lead soft point 7.62x54 cheap

[mylife]

find me some Russian 7N1

[PapaBear3625]

This would be a money-making opportunity for the Russians. Ship all their older ammo to the US, make money, use the money to make new stockpile of ammo.

they also make brass cased shot shells, very nice quality

[mylife]

you could drop an elk with that!

I just recently found out that steel-cased ammunition for the AK-47 rifles (7.62 x 39) is preferred ammunition as the rifle cycles and ejects the steel cases better than it does brass cases. The Russian ammo is good stuff for AK’s.

might as well use steel, AK’s beat the **** out of brass, its spent.

Barnaul also makes good 9mm Mak ammunition too, although I haven’t been able to find any lately. I have a stash of Prvi Partizan (Serbian) and I reload.

Good thing I got a few cases of Golden Tiger 7.62x39 in between the last two shortages.

post #12. Looks like steel case, brass coated

[mylife]

indeed, but better in semi autos than plastic crap

[Myrddin]

I have a stash of Prvi Partizan (Serbian) and I reload.

I have some of their 10mm 180 gr ammo. Nice range ammo to feed my pistols. I use the Sig V-Crown for carry, Prvi for practice.

[Cold Heart]

My grandson fired an old paper hulled 12ga shell the other day. Only the brass head was ejected, the paper had turned to dust and went out with the shot.

All that engineering to develop a case less cartridge when we had the technology all along. Just needed proper aging.

[Rinnwald]

Sig was one of the few premium JHP makers to make their bullets available as components lately. I reload V-Crowns in 9mm Luger, and also have a small stash of factory Federal HSTs.

I haven’t found a 9x18mm Mak JHP that will penetrate and open up at the same time. FMJs are what I use if I want to get historical and carry one of my guns in that caliber.

There are some suppliers who source their ammo from former Warsaw pact countries other than Russia. I believe Red army standard gets some from Romania, Czechia, etc.
