Has anyone on this site shot any of this Brass cased non-corrosive ammo yet?   I would like to get some feed back as to barrel fouling and group size when shot in a  AK .  Cases are annealed and bullets have flat bases.   I like the Silver bear ammo..... but the barrel fouling is horrendous.  I think I have bought my last case of silver bear for that reason.  I reload all my brass cased 7.62x39 cases but could always use more new brass and this boxer primed Red Army Elite ammo looks good to go.

I messaged the gentleman that did this video via Facebook and asked him about fouling.  He said less than regular Russian stuff, but more than Hornady TAP.

SGAmmo lists it as Boxer.  Haven't checked myself.

Red Army makes steel case ammo also, much closer to the price of Silver Bear than this, although if you want brass cased ammo it's probably a good deal also. Haven't shot the Red Army brass yet but ran 100 rounds of the RA steel and seemed to burn as clean as GT which I think is the cleanest burning foreign ammo. Last I looked SGAmmo had RA steel for 26 cents/round.

Red Army doesn't make anything.  It's just a brand name Century puts on ammunition they import from various sources.  Ukraine, Bosnia, Romania, etc.
