Anyone have any opinion on this stuff? Both ammoman.com and ammunitionstore.com are selling it pretty cheap. It says the bullet is nickel plated - and that makes it go easy on the barrel. I've never heard of nickel plated bullets before. Anyone have any opinions?

I got a wood case of 1000 rds. and it looks good ! I bought it for my M-48A's as it has the heavier 196 grain bullet which they reportedly prefer.
i think a nickelclad bullet reeks of quality , in my opinion. It is corrosive of course , so clean your gun thoroughly after shooting.
I haven't actually shot any yet , but I'm going on what others have reported:D

I bought some for my hakim for the 196gr bullet...ok stuff just make sure you clean the bore as soon as you shoot I'm pretty sure this stuff is corrosive....everytime I shoot this stuff I'm reminded of the thread somewhere on this board about "not shooting ammo from countries that piss in thier water supplys"...but hey its cheap, just clean up really good afterwords with amonia
