Russian 22 LR ammo

[resdep]

I came across some Russian steel case 22 LR ammo. Wondering if anyone has used any of this. The box is green, it says "JUNIOR" and .22 long rifle rim fire cartridges on the box. The lot number is P86. Everything I could find on it says it is junk. Lots of squibs, cases sticking in the chamber, and poor performance.
Thoughts?

I had some of that years ago. Yeah, its bad. Depending on how old it is, it might also be corrosive primed. That I had was.

Box says non corrosive, I'm not willing to try it.
Thanks for the reply.

Bet you could get $1 round online. Unique, collector ammo!

My boxes did too. My old Winchester says otherwise.

I had a small sample (box of each), both shorts and long rifle. It is every bit as bad as people say and is hands down the worst 22 I have ever experienced. Luckily, the ones I had appear to have actually been non-corrosive. I guess I lucked out there!

When I was a kid we used to buy the cheap Russian ammo and thought it was exotic. Back then the stuff was less than a $1/box and as a young teenager affordable.

If you have a cartridge collection that is great ammo to add to your collection.....I would not shoot that stuff unless I was real desperate .....

Thanks for all of your input. I have a collector friend, I'll give him a call and see if he wants it.
