I've shot 1 box of remington cartridges, has anybody tried Herter's brand?

Does Cabelas ever have the Remington on sale?

Wa;mart regularly has Remington 110 FMJ for $25 a box. I shoot it for target since I use Remington 110 JSP for "duty" and it shoots the same. Herters is steel cased Ulyvostok.

thanks, I haven't checked walmart. I'll have to go see what they have.

has anybody tried Herter's brand?

I've fired a couple of boxes of Herter's--one through each Carbine. At the time, it was almost all that was available. No issues, but I have read that the steel cases can be really hard on the extractors, so I keep my remaining Herter's in the bottom of the ammo can as backup.

Right now AIM has Priv 30 carbine FMJ and SP for $18 and change a box and the Priv is good brass cased ammo.

[imarangemaster]

for the same price as In fact, AIM has Prvi JSP for same price as JSP. Really good ammo. It is a little slower than Remington, but not by much (maybe 50 FPS).

Does anybody shoot the old WWII ammo made by King City or Western.......or is this stuff just for collectors?

[imarangemaster]

I've shot some (about 2 dozen or so) that was without a box and tarnished - not particularly collectable. It shot well, though it actually seemed warmer than the RP FMJ. For the most part it is too expensive to shoot.

I have 3 boxes of Western Cartridge Co., one of which the box is damaged. The other two, however, are nice with no tarnish. I have shot about 250 rounds of old 43' WCC ammo, and besides 20% of the cases splitting length wise, they all shot true. Fatigued brass is all I can think of. I'll probably sell or shoot the other 3 boxes, because I won't use them for HD.
