Academy has 9mm for 20 cents per round

Used Monarch in the past. Was dirty, weak recoil. Wonder if it has changed?

Probaby depends on who they contracted to make it. The steel ammo they used to sell was your typical Russian stuff. The brass cased is usually PPU, which has a good reputation. Some of their brass cased has been Armscor which sounds like what you described.

The only issue that I've had with Monarch was some of their 12 gauge buckshot would swell and get hung up when chambered.

I’m contemplating it. Not a huge fan of Monarch since it’s pretty dirty, but I’ve never had any issues running it the few times I have. Not the greatest ammo but good for plinking on the range.

This particular ammo is made in Brazil.

Is that good, bad, or unknown?

Just because I live in Whoville doesn't make me a who-er! Right?

Is that steel core stuff? Indoor range friendly?

Rebranded Magtech so it’s good. The parent company also owns MEN in Germany and Sellier & Bellot in the Czech Republic.

Copper jacketed lead.

I’ve got a total of four on either picked up or ready to pick up.

Wait a minute. We had a thread on here that called Academy a second rate store.
I thought everyone on OSA went top tier??
