Was it brass or steel cased. The brass I had no doubt would run. But here its $12 plus tax.

I think the Monarch come out of serbia, It looks identical to wolf gold in .308. It shoots good in my Century Cetme. Mine shoots handloads pretty well too. Although once in awhile i do get a stovepipe with a hand load.
I would find as much new producion winchester ball I can get.I would keep it for when the balloon goes up lol.

I think any steel will work just as well for 7 plus tax it isn't necessarily a steal........
