Mixed feelings

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.
