Republic Training and Range Ammo
Who makes this stuff? Is it any good? The price is right. Target USA is selling it.

I bought 500 rounds of it two weeks ago from Target Sports. Haven't shot any of it yet, so no comments there.

Looks like standard commie stuff, just lacquer coated, which isn't quite the norm these days. Don't like the packaging, since it's totally unlike any other combloc 7.62, so it messes up my storage scheme. Roll Eyes

Thanks let me know how it cycles. It says Range ammo so maybe they are giving us a heads up.

Any reports how this shoots?
I just ordered 1000rds as the Russia/Ukraine mess escalates in fear this may not be available much longer as other Russian manufactured ammo is be retracted.
