Red Army Standard functions fine in all of my Maks, not one hiccup but is it just me or does the burnt powder smell funky? Had some Chinese 7.62 X 39 smelled about the same from China Sports. No indoor range for this stuff. Anyone else ?
Performance is good, just this particular batch had an awful smell. I don't know, maybe it's me with an over sensitive nose, anyhow I will continue to keep using it because it is available locally and it is good ammo.
I have been very impressed with Red Army. I have now shot 8 boxes of it and not a single malfunction in my new Mak, P64 or CZ82. I will keep buying it until the fighting in Ukraine screws everything up. Haven't noticed any weird smell.
What are you all paying for Red Army ammo? I got some at a recent gun show for $16/box out the door. It was the best price in the show, while most 9X18 was going for $25/box or more. I ain't paying those prices.
I just now bought the 150 round range pack for 38.55 from Wideners but with $15.97 shipping it works out to $18.33 a box. I probably should have bought more as the shipping costs would get spread out more.
