Why are the Russian brands of ammo cost so much less than the most common USA brands of ammo? Do they jam or ruin the gun?
Of late I have been seeing lots of different Russian companies coming out with ammo which is priced significantly less than most of the common made in the USA brands. i.e. Tula, Wolf. They both have a strange clear coating on the shells.
In these two calibers 7.62 x 39 and in Remington .223 the cases are usually not brass and not reloadable. They maybe steel cased. In this respect are there any downsides to this lower cost ammo since I don't reload?
I was told never to put the Russian ammo through a Ruger Mini-14 otherwise it will void the warranty.
On an AK which has the reputation of shooting anything reliable-goes bang every time, shooting steel cased shells or brass shells shouldn't make a difference in damaging rifle?
