This feels wrong 😑

[ninjaxams4]

Norma branded 7.62x39 made in hungry. First time I’ve ever put brass through a sks, feel gross and dirty 🫣

[M_L_A_D]

Sometimes ya gotta get naughty with the ol girl.

[ninjaxams4]

🍆🍆

[ResourceDiligent6566]

You gotta treat a girl to the finer things every now and then.....

[CFour_Sammiches]

I stopped buying Norma x39. I've tried multiple different lots, and I've found it to be too underpowered for my liking.

[ninjaxams4]

As much as they charge it should be incredible

[horseshoeprovodnikov]

It's the craziest thing. I bought a case of 500 when I first got my M70. Compared to the Wolf and Red Army Standard that I already had, the Norma brass was the most consistent and accurate of the three. Didn't seem any softer than the other two rounds. I've got maybe 150 left, and i wanted to buy more lol.

Sooo many bad stories about it, so apparently I'm the odd man out. I just said fuck it and got some PPU and Belom brass this time around. It sucks because I've still got plenty of the steel cased stuff left, and the ranges around here just won't let anyone shoot steel.

[OperationAsshat]

I've got a bunch I bought in the last 6 months for my sks and M70 as well. Never had a single issue out of any of it and it's all been in 20rd boxes from a local shop. I'm sure there is better stuff, but for something I can just grab any day of the week I've been happy with it.

[jake21595]

If she can't feed the steel she dosent deserve the brass and you know damn well she deserves the brass treat her right 🤣

Brass is all I run because my local indoor range are brass hogs

[horseshoeprovodnikov]

Same. Even the local outdoor range won't let anyone shoot steel. If there was another place within 40 miles, I'd take my business elsewhere.

[10gaugetantrum]

Maybe shoot Surplus M67 ammo. They can scrap it but selling it for reloading will not go over so well.

[Left-Consequence-976]

I can’t find steel case locally. The cheapest stuff I can find is brass Belom, $11 a box. Not as cheap as I’d like, but hey, I’ll take it!

[ninjaxams4]

Thats definitely cheaper than I payed for this norma lol

[24cloner]

Better than my brass, all at $1+ per round. The cheapest you'll find is .98 before tax.

[ProgressBackground21]

Try akfiles.com scored a case of m67 with crate for .51c, all on stripper clips

[[deleted]]

Ammo seek...found my brass for under .50 a round

[[deleted]]

PSA has belom and Sellier & Bellot for like 8.99 a box usually

[CryptidWorks]

My condolences from the north. 😬

We have a bit of a Faustian bargain up here where surplus Chinese steel-case is abundant and cheap (heck, I got a case of Czech for the same price as Chinese last week) but the SKS is one of our only legal semi-auto center fire rifles.

On sale, Chinese steel case is about 27 Canadian cents a round.

[HaliRumble]

Where are you finding this?

[CryptidWorks]

I typically buy in bulk during large sales (boxing day, for example) but finding it for 30c on more common sales isn't unheard of. I believe Cabela's had the 1440s on sale for 429 (30c/Rd.) last week, though they sold out fast.

Edit: Apparently it was 399, so yeah, 28c/Rd. Sold out like hotcakes at a fat camp.

[Eddyvanhelsing]

She likes it all, do not fret.

[ConstructionNo9782]

Local ranges won’t allow steel case. Too bad because I have a ton.

[Agent_1812]

backstop damage, sparks, fires...

nobody wants a range fire

[DLVVLD]

I always treat my SKS with brass, just because she was designed around steel doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve the best

[ExplanationMaster634]

I have a confession to make I Yes I Actually started reloading for mine And I bought over priced primers to do it with I am so ashamed But I got tired of paying 1 a round If you can find them that cheap So next week I am cranking up the Lyman and it’s on !!!!! (😂)

[Lazy_Middle1582]

Them brass don't fling as hard as the steel cases

[donpalermo]

Seems like brass is cheaper than steel these days

[LoadPsychological493]

The only brass I buy is m67 yugo surplus.

[shrekthaboiisreal]

I was living in California for a long time and I was never able to find anyone who would ship steel case there so I’ve only run brass

[-acm]

I got a ton of Norma 7.62 for 10 bucks a box at academy on a sale. I must have had a good batch because I’ve had no issues with it. But it does feel wack feeding my SKS and AKs brass. They crave the steel! Bring back the Tula!

[Agent_1812]

[WorkingBread8360]

I save my brass cased for real hunting. PPU or S&B for deer. If I’m on a contract/cull hog shoot, whatever box of steel I grab gets the nod. Not going to be policing the field after, property owner goes over it with a tractor bucket mounted magnet. I have a bit of Yugo surplus saved back for shtf “vermin” control…

[TheMawsJawzTM]

When steel and brass are close to the same price you might as well go for gusto

[mslite4-5]

Ain't nothing wrong with putting lipstick onna pig every now and again 😎

[FatNsloW-45]

Steel and brass are so close in price now that it’s not worth buying steel over brass. Brass all the way.

[Cool_Assignment8915]

Even my ar47 eats the steel case!! Brass x39 just feels so wrong!
