Their 7.62x54r is junk too, I won't purchase any of their ammo.

Oh fantastic.. I picked up a brick of this stuff a while back and haven't fired it yet..

Armscor makes 7.62x54 ???

Crap, I may have just stuck my foot in my mouth. The batch of ammo I'm thinking about may have been Olympic and not Armscor. I'll have to go check my stash and see if I've still got a box.

Now that we know how dangerous this ammo is, I'll be happy to buy it, cheap of course. $12 per brick, you pay shipping? Nobody wants to lose an eye on this crappy ammo.

I bought three cases of Armscor this month. Two of HV, one of SV. I fired four hundred rounds of it this week in three rifles -- two 10/22s and one GSG5. No problems whatsoever and good accuracy. I am buying more.

Ooops! My bad! haha.

The only issues I had with Armscor was that sticky, waxy "lube". The rounds will get jammed in the chamber of my 10/22 w/ a Green Mountain bull barrel and the extractor can't pull it out on the first try. I'll have cycle the bolt at least 3-4 times before it extracts.

If it works for you, more power to ya! I'd only use it on a manual action - pump or lever action .22.

Armscor works fine in my son's bolt action .22. 100 rounds fired with no issues. The ones I bought have a wider mouthed hollow point than the usual stuff from Federal, CCI, etc., so I opted to only run the Armscor through bolt actions and revolvers.

Shot 300 rounds of this ammo with my 10/22 with no problems. Maybe its a bad batch? I bought the brick about 4 months ago. 074639 is the number in the box.
