I don't know anything about it but if it is steel cased I bet you are looking at the future of 22 ammunition.
I bought some of this back in the 90s for a real low price at a gun show. The first time I used this ammo, I was firing thru a Ruger Single 6. and a friend was using it in his K-22. All went bang and accuracy was on par with cheap WW & R-P ammo.
A month or so later, I took the ammo to the range. This time with a Marlin 22 and a Ruger 10-22. What we found was 25-30% FTF. The firing pin was not indenting the rim enough to ignite the priming charge. Ironically, it would fire in a different 10-22. Yes, the steel case is harder. A subsequent strike on a case that FTF would usually work.
This ammo was not reliable in a S&W model 41, but was 100% reliable in a Ruger Standard Auto.
If your gun has a robust and hard hitting firing pin mechanism, this stuff is OK. If it FTF, try it in another gun.

From what I have read, the stuff isn't very accurate. Hence I would not be interested in buying any of it.

There's a lot of info on RFC. Check the Russian forum and do a search. It was somewhat sought after by some of the members, but I've never even seen it up close.

Bought a case of 6,000 rounds in the early 1990's, it shot and cycled through whatever I put it in, revolver, 10/22's, bolt actions, all of it.
Gotta run a patch down the bore later, but it's fairly clean.

bought and sold 40 bricks in the mid 90s
shot at least 4 bricks myself thru several firearms including a couple 10/22s a colt revolver a ruger revolver and a marlin model60
it worked flawlessly in all except the marlin.
accuracy was better than remington thunderbolts and on par with winchester and american eagle but not as good as cci
