Great, cheap, ammo. I fired 200 rounds through my brand new Saiga .308. Not one issue. Nice tight groups. There are some ranges that won't let you use this ammo. Just be sure that is not the case for your local range. My range doesn't care, so it's all good.

Shot 200 rounds through my RRA-LAR8 had zero misfeeds. This ammo held a tight group. I would buy this ammo any day of the week. If there is one negative it is that this ammo is dirty, but if you clean your rifle this should not be a problem. Great Product!!!

PTR91 PROBLEMS
Reviewer: Southern Avenger

7/11/2010

IF YOU HAVE A PTR91 PLEASE READ; The first time I used this I had a ton of failures to extract, but I learned a thing that's unique to the HK91 and clones. Theres flutes in the chamber! They need cleaning out every once in awhile. I had totally neglected this aspect, and thought my PTR91 was a POS dud when it started turning into a bolt action with failures to extract. I took a 12. ga brass brush and the crap in there was amazing! I was about to sell off my POS ptr, but I'm so glad a 50 cent shotgun brush clears it up, and allows me to use cheap steel cased ammo again! Now my PTR is the msot relaible rifle I have with the cheapest .308 I can find! DON'T OVERLOOK CLEANING THE FLUTES!

I ordered 13 boxes, got them for my DPMS AP4, and worked fine, no problems at at all. A little dirty and it leaves a little paint from the primer, but it's ok. I always clean my guns after a trip to the range. If anyone finds something cheaper let me know.

I have now shot over 300 rounds of Brown Bear with my Saiga 308 and have to say that this is very good ammo. I have only had 1 misfire and NO JAMS. I am getting 3" groups at 100 yards (cold) and 4" groups (hot.) I will be buying more! Dirty? It's so-so, but I clean after every trip anyway. Hope this helps.

This ammo served it's purpose. I purchased it because it was cheap and I just wanted to use it to sight in and familiarize myself with my new Remington 700 VTR. Bought 5 boxes. Fired 40 of it so far with no problems, and fair accuracy for the price. True it is dirty and non reloadable, but for the money, I don't think anyone here has the right to complain lol.

I have bought and shoot over 500 rounds of this ammo and have had NO problems at all! It doesn't have me chasing shell casings. Plain and Simple, it is just good fun ammo and have not had any problem keeping a 3-inch pattern at 75-100 yard range. And, the price is Definitely Cheaper Than Dirt, even with shipping. I know locally it is double the price that i pay here. I just bought another 500 rounds. You cant ever have enough Ammo! Thanks

Unlike another brand of bargain-priced Russian ammo with which I was pleasantly surprised, this stuff performed about as well as you'd expect for what it costs. I admit I'm no Carlos Hathcock (USMC Expert Sniper from Vietnam War), but I can usually hold together a pretty tight group at 100yds with the open sights of my M1A. My target looked like I had been using a shotgun after trying this stuff. It seems to cycle flawlessly though.

I was a bit hesitant to buy because of the negative FEEDBACK I had heard about this ammo. All I can say is if you own Saiga 308, then it will cycle perfectly and will hit your target. I dont know how it works in any other gun. I expected positive results since the ammo, and the gun are made in the same country. I frickin' love the Russians. Thanks guys, you may save America by arming us with stuff that works. It is affordable, and thanks to Cheaper Than Dirt.

You'll get people telling you that "Brown Bear is dirty" and you'll hear of the evil tales about lacquer coating. Yes, you are not going to be able to get 1-MOA out of an M1 or an AR10, but if you've got a semi auto .308, this stuff is great. **Buy it cheap and stack it deep.** The lacquer coating will help prevent case corrosion, and aid in long-term storage. This is the cheapest .308 around at the moment. Never a misfire or a dented case. 5 bullets.

This stuff is cheap, but dependable. I've had no misfires, or jams, but the ammo shoots as dirty as I've seen. I purchased a bunch for a M1A Socom 16, and I'm not running any more through it. No sense running cheap ammo through a 1500 dollar rifle. 5 rounds and the chamber looked like I put 100 rounds through it. Steel casing is hard on parts. Great ammo for the price, but I don't recommend using it in a high quality gun, or a semi automatic you care about.

Good ammo for 6 dollars a box. I shot 60 rounds out of my DPMS SASS, and shot a .3 MOA group, all around sub MOA. The only problem I had was the laquer coating the bore when it heated up and it took a little work with the wire brush to get out. I also shot it out of my remington 700 and was just as consistantly accurate. I am glad I don't have to feel guilty to shoot my .308 any more.

I bought 200 rounds and got about 10-15 duds, no big deal. I think these smell bad shooting too, also dirtied my gun a lot. I would not reload these but I shoot a Cetme that destroys the brass any way. Cheap rounds are what you are going to get if this is your pick!!!!! I would get them again for target shooting!!!!!

Ok people, this is STEEL CASE AMMO WITH A COATING, you DO NOT SHOOT IT OUT OF YOUR BRAND NEW PRECISION HUNTING RIFLE, that is not what it is made for. I have shot it out of my Saiga .308 and it never skipped a beat, it loves it because this type of weapon is made for this type of ammo! If you are looking for target ammo for an SKS, AK, SAIGA, NATO type weapon this is the ammo for you. I would NOT shoot this type of ammo through my Savage hunting rifle, I would use brass as it was intended for! All orders I have places with CTD have shipped fast with no problems. Wish CTD had brass ammo cheaper than dirt for .308. Get some and have fun!!!!!

I run this stuff through my M1A like it's going out of style. I've probably put at least 4000 rounds through it and only had 2 FTF's ever. Both failures were due to improperly deep-seated primers (firing pin couldn't reach). 2 bad ones out of 4000 comes out to be about 99.995%. I'll take that every time. The accuracy is not quite as good as top shelf stuff, but I can still empty a 20rd mag into the center of the head of a human silhouette at 150 yards with ease. Yes, it fires dirtier--clean it more!

Great Deal!

Wouldn't recommend it for your best deer rifle but everything else it's worth it. As far as dirty, you should clean your gun everytime you use it anyway, so not a big deal. Good stuff!

I purchased about 5 boxes of this ammo just to use for general target practice. The price is excellent and I found it to be reasonably accurate with 1 inch goups at 50 yards with open sights from a bench. I had no malfunctions and the powder residue was not really any more that other brands unless you go to the $20+ per box price range. Overall I rate this item very good through my M1A.

I bought sixty rounds of this ammo to just screw around. For that it was great. Accuracy was horrible through my saiga. With winchester or Rem. I pull a 1.5" MOA.

For the money, this stuff is OKAY. Just okay. You save alot, but trouble can follow. My buddy and I have Savage .308's and we took 60 rounds of this stuff to the range to try it out because it was a good price. It gave decent performance with a poor grouping at 125 yds. Poor being about 4 inches apart over a 5 shot spread. For popping AR500 steel plates at 100 or so yards it's unbeatable, you are going thru alot of ammo and this pings it almost every time. With a small margin for shooter error. One major issue with the ammo, the thick steel casing couples with the hefty coat of lacquer really made it a pain to chamber and eject these rounds with a bolt action rifle. They would often like to hang up and not come out. On one instance we had to take my buddies rifle to a local gunsmith to get it disassembled to get the casing out of the breech. Not a HUGE deal, but still quite annoying. For the money, if you are brave and lucky, this stuff is worth it. But if you want the best just for target shooting for the money, go with Winchester white box FMJ ammo. Decent price, great performance. Recommended by the gunsmith that pried the Brown Bear casing out of my friends rifle. He says "It's a good price, and performs great, it will not mess your gun up or get stuck.". So, having said that. This was my honest, no BS review. I give 3 bullets because of the bad/severe jamming. Rather than 4 bullets which it deserves due to the price. Overall decent ammo if you can deal with the occasional beating of the bolt handle to eject the spent casing.

If you spend $76 for 20 rounds just because it shoot cleaner then guess what, you will eventually end up cleaning the rifle regardless of the price. Save money and shoot much more! I recommend it!
