Monarch Ammo
from Russia. Is this the same as wolfe? Academy in Austin has .223 for less than $5.00 a box but it is apparently some sort of laquer coating over steel. Crap or shootable? accelerated barrel wear?
Thanks, David |

Shootable crap.
I've not used any .223, but I've shot 9mm and .30-30. The .30-30 functions excellently and I have no complaints, save some small but obvious case anomalies. The 9mm shoots just fine, but is very dirty, smelly, and seems to have an exaggerated muzzle flash (slower powder?).

I too have shot it in .30-30 and have nothing to complain about. Pretty good for the price.

I've used the 9mm, (it's the cheapest I can find) and it seems to shoot fairly well for target ammo. In fact I seem to group better with it than the white box Winchester. However, it is extremely dirty shooting stuff. It gunks up the weapon quite a bit and every time a casing hits me it leaves black gunk on me. Otherwise I've had not problems and don't mind using it for target or plinking ammo.
