Anyone ever heard of the stuff? My gun dealer had it on sale today, so I picked up a box for my 9mm. 50 for $4.50. Was after dark when I got home, so haven't tried it out yet. Just curious about it. BTW...Russian made.

    I had a box of this a while back. Seemed pretty good to me. Shot and fed well in my Sig P226. Easy on the ol' hands for 145 grain. Can't beat the price, either.-Marcus

    Well, looks like I wasted $4.50! Shot the box this afternoon, and it jammed and jammed and jammed and then jammed some more. Never had my pistol do that before (not this bad anyway) so must be the ammo. Guess a bargain isn't always a bargain!

    Odd. It shoots fine in my Sig. Send those boxes this way. ;-)-Marcus

    I'm finding out that Cheaper Ammo such as Silver Bear,Norinco and Wolf are longer than most(9mm)ammo. None fit in my aftermarket mags, they jam in the mags after inserting between 4-22 rounds in the 15 & 30 round mags.
