steel cased .22

At the nappanee gun show last weekend i saw a guy selling a few boxed of Russian steel cased .22. It was in a box so I didn't see what the ammo looking like but has anyone ever saw this stuff before? I thought it might be cool to pick up your leftover cases with a magnet.

I've not seen anything like it, but it would make sense if its surplus. Most of their trainer rifles were .22s.

Well I found some but this is packaged different then the stuff I saw so there must have been more then one manufacturer.

A buddy of mine has some Russian steel cased 22. I don't know what brand it is. It won't eject from any gun he has (several) and he has to practically drive it out of the cylinder of a Ruger single action. I won't put it in my guns.
He also has some other Russian steel cased 22 that has a real light bullet and no powder, it has a healthy priming compound. They will penetrate one side of an empty 33 gallon Rubbermaid trash can, but not exit the back side. They won't eject either lol.

I wonder if they would work in any kind of trainer rifle?
