I shot a box of it out of my Tikka T3, it was fine but was about a 3-4 inch group at 100yards, shot better than the Remington ammo I tried though.

I've been shooting steel cased Hornady training ammo and it's fine. It shoots amazing under and inch every time at 100yards, and shoots just as well as the same cheap Hornady brass cased stuff.

The barnaul will probably shoot terrible and you will have to look around and fond something cheap that shoots well.
