    I saw those and thought they must be the same as the training ammo, steel case type. What fps are they?

    Thought I read somewhere these are Barnaul cases?

    I'm about to order 200 Barnaul 62gr FMJs to see if they run OK as hand loads, they strung vertically for me as a complete round which suggests the bullet might do better, dirt cheap so worth a go.
