BARNAUL 30.06 Quality???

I'm looking at Barnaul SP for hunting, but their feedback site (http://barnaulammunition.com/feedbackresult.htm)

has some disturbing complaints about 30.06 swollen cases that won't extract and cases that have their heads torn etc.

their 7.62X39 apparently doesn't suffer from these problems...

my Browning BAR Sporting rifle digests about anything..BUT what is the COLLECTIVE experirence out there with BARNAUL 30.06??????

I would consider that feedback to be pretty collective experience!

I bought 1,000 rounds after getting an M1 - wishing I hadn't. There is a weird little groove in front of the extractor groove the makes loading the enbloc clips a real PITA. I also have a problem from time to time of the empty shell sitcking in the chamber, requiring the hammer and brass rod to get it out. I'm not sure if it's from the laquer melting and re-hardening in a hot chamber, or if its from something else.

As far as reliability goes, I haven't had any issues with it going bang. Due to my open-sight shooting skills at this point in time, I'm not able to comment on it's accuracy.
