any difference between the origins?

 

ukraine,russian,bulgarian

 

Got a Polish M44 going thru NICS need some spam for it to eat and see few origins available

Whatever's cheaper :-)

I ve shot all of them and have not not noticed any difference.

 

The difference is that that the casings are:

 

-laquered ( there was some Polish ammo on the market a few years ago). To use this one without gettign a sticky bolt syndrome you have to clean the chamber out of cosmoline very good......and i mean very good.

 

-Copper washed steeel case ( russian,ukraininan,bulgarian)........i have been lazy and my chamber is not clean 100% so i get a sticky bolt......these work just fine since they re copper washed.

 

-Brass Case ( Yugo Heavy Ball ammo...hard to find but very accurate in my opinion, Albanian light ball.......a rew shipments were agailable a few years ago....users said it was very good...i never shot any.

 

 

I have Polish Laquered 147gr made in 1952 if you want to try that one out......PM me and i ll give you some to try out if u want.

 

 

Hungarian is my favorite, Yugo second favorite, Bulgarian third, Polish 4th and of course handloads are best. A few months ago Lapua x54 brass was up at a distributor for $30 per hundred. If there is any more that pops up snatch it up if you can.

do these come on stripper clips in the cans already?

The cans I've seen only have ammo wrapped in brown paper 20 rounds per bundle. So no stripper clips

Some ammo suppliers had 300rd tins of x54R on strippers a few months ago. I knew that stuff wouldn't last long so I stocked up. It was a little more expensive than regular 880rd tins but it was well worth it!

do these come on stripper clips in the cans already?

Sometimes yes. I bought 2 cases of 300 '50s Russian.light ball on strippers for 140 in December. At that tome the 880 cases were going for 150 or so, so a little more expensive but I now have a bunch of stripper clips.
