1895 ammo

Today I got the pistol ammo I ordered. It is actual Russian surplus, not the Hotshot that I had before.
It comes in 14 round boxes for $4.90 a box, (I got 8 boxes) works out to $17.50 for 50 rounds, a lot better than the $29 I was paying before.
And it looks a little different than the Hotshot, a slow taper on the casing, not a ring at the top, and it's 108 grain, Hotshot is 98 grain.
The downside is it is corrosive (it's Russian, duh), oh well, I clean the pistol after shooting anyway.
Hotshot on left, Russian on right.
