A Friend picked the up someplace ... sent me 1000 of them.

I had a couple hundred rounds of the Russian steel cased pooky in the 90s. "Junior". Shot well enough, all went off. Dirty as a sewer, and smoked plenty. Lube was apparently applied with trowel, and it was soft and sticky. I think, if memory serves me right, it was stated as doing 320 m/sec. So under 1100.

I eventually only ran it through a couple of semiautos I had. In my OM Single Six, and my Remington 511, it was an extraction nightmare. Get out the cleaning rod time was anytime you tried it in a fixed breech.

I've seen it badged as "Junior", as "Baikal", and as "Youth". Apparently ad*lts aren't supposed to shoot it.

By the way, this site is picking up "ad-ult" as a dirty word.
