Shot a couple boxes of the cheap Russian stuff from Wal-mart. Actually wasn't bad. Soft shooting (180gr) and not too dirty. Did have a pretty good puff of smoke on each shot. It was pretty accurate. Was pretty easily popping cans offhand at 20 yards. Did find out that there is still a fair amount of expanding foam in the cans after it quits coming out...
BUT had 2 fails to feed. I think they were because the cases in question were gritty feeling. It felt like there was actual grit in the coating they put on the steel. Not a good rate (2 per 100).
I will still keep shooting it. Especially in locations where collecting brass is difficult! For the price and easy availability it's not bad. Not great, but not bad.
Oh, forgot to add that I shot a loose chunk of 4x4 pine. Two shots and after the second shot, it flipped away. Picked it up and the bullets were sticking out the back of the wood. Could easily pick them out by hand. 3rd hit and it split into lots of splinters.
