Has anyone used the Russian mfg .223 55g shells from centerfire systems. 1000 rounds for $239.95. Certainly beats walley world!

It's about all I run through my AR's. It's cheap, not very clean, but accurate enough to get the job done with ease. Some AR's run well with steel-case, some do not. I'd say purchase about 3 or 4 boxes of the stuff from a local gun shop and then if it runs well, buy a case from Centerfire (a good company, from my 3 or 4 experiences). All my AR's are built by me, so I can't speak for any manufacturer that would run better or worse with steel case. Some people advise against steel case, but in 4000+ rounds through 9 different AR's, I can say it has never caused any problems that have been unfixable through standard procedure for malfunctions. I'd say I've had maybe 12 bad rounds out of those 4000, with most being due to a brand new bolt carrier being stiff during the first few shots, causing the extractor to not do it's job. This quickly disappears, though. I hope this helps.

If its the Tula stuff in the white boxes, I have been using it fine.

Thanks guys my Del-ton and CMMGs have never given me a problem just didn't want to waste the time or money if the Russian stuff would do damage hang fire etc etc I guess I will get me some; I clean my guns after every shooting event anyway. If my guns blow up at least I got someone else to blame!! Joking....

Thats good to hear you got it to run on the poly coated stuff.... I have one AR in my collection that sticks those cases like that's it's job.... I'm going to have to try the polishing the chamber w/JB Bore paste trick.

You can get a thousand rounds of Silver Bear 62gr hollow point from Aimsurplus for less than that.

I have heard Silver Bear is actually pretty decent stuff. Anyone have experience?

+1..SIlver 62gn HPs shoot great and are reasonably accurate in my CMMG...Nothing wrong at all..but Tula white boxes shoot great too...buy with confidence..
