The ammo below is "Factory Remanufactured by Vympel". Is there anything bad about it other than it having a corrosive primer?

It appears they took whatever bullet was on the case off (maybe it was armor piercing?), then put a different bullet into the case. From reading the description I can't tell whether they kept the powder with the primed case and just put another bullet on it.

Most likely reused the powder.

Just be aware that the ammunition would be disassembled,  the powder would be taken out of the case and then collected in barrels and then the case goes back into the production line and the powder gets put back in..

So you know it's just like reloaded ammunition from anywhere else

The original steel core projectiles were replaced with a lead core projectiles so the ammunition could be exported to the US.

I bought a couple thousand rounds of this stuff from sam at sgammo.  I’ve ran about 500+ rounds with zero issues. Other than corrosive it good ammo in my opinion.

I haven’t grouped any of this ammo for accuracy just plinking with the family.

Nothing super formal, but in my experience it has slightly better than average accuracy.

Good to hear, I’ll try to put some on paper next trip. See what kind of results I can get. To further the info pool.
