[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Monarch ammo?

Posted: 11/29/2005 10:47:09 AM EDT

Anyone shot this stuff from academy? I was thinking about getting some as blasting ammo for the farm at $2.88 a box. I've run wolf ploy coat with no problems. What do ya'll think.

I think the Monarch is a private label for Academy stores, it looks like Brown Bear lacquered ammo from Russia, should be OK.

The lacquered ammo isn't as good as the poly coat stuff, but a lot of guys have used it with no problems.

Thanks for the answer. I know my AK will eat up the 7.62x39 but was concerned about the AR. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Try it before you buy a lot. It worked well in one of my ARs but didn't in another.

Supposed to be the current incarnation of Blue Box/Marlboro Man Barnaul.

I shoot it in my Mini-14, but not in my AR. Chrono'd at 2970, on average. No problems, and accuracy was no better and no worse than anything else that I have shot in my mini.

Monarch = Barnaul - Russian Steel cased ammo, with a lacquer coating. Very simlilar quality to Wolf.
