I'm about outta the 'albie' too. Liked it, wuz good stuff. Been shooting Polish lately. Groups about like the albie. the polish brass isn't as 'bright' as the albie, has a funky smell. Shoots good, no misfeeds or misfires. The cans look like they got dredged up from the bottom of a river, lol.. even worse than the czech spam cans. Gettin this commie martyr surplus ammo outta the cans is half the fun of shooting the damn gun.

Stay away from the hungarian heavy ball, all of us (using nagant actions) are having extraction problems and misfires, about 1 in 30. Coupla split cases too. Doesn't group well either. Has a heluva whallop tho. Cranked the firing pin out a turn to try to get the stuff to pop, found I was smackin the pin right thru the primer, still no bang improvement.
Anyway, give the polish a try, we all like it, shoots mighty fine. yes indeedy! Aim Surplus is one of the places you gotta fax a 'em a copy of your license (once) BUT they've been real fast shipping once your in their system and the shipping rates are very good.. 17 bucks shipping for a 50lb load of ammo. they got polish for 33 bucks per 440 tin. not half shabby.
Hey Wulfie.. you want my gun.. come 'n get it yerself. Don't send some poor peace officer to do yer dirty work. YOU come get it. Muahahhahhahha!
