Reviewer: Shane
I ordered this for a couple of reasons. To use at the local range on some steel plates and to "gather" some brass for my future reloading efforts. It shot fine through my .357 and .38. It does put out a lot of smoke, but as long as the breeze wasn't blowing directly in my face, it wasn't a problem at all on the outdoor range. I'd probably stay away from this at an indoor range. I didn't notice any muzzle flash at all that some other reviewers mentioned. Not sure that I'll order again, unless I need a bunch of "cheap" stuff to blast through and want to gather some more brass.

Reviewer: Mark
I purchased this ammo with the expectation that it would be a good way to get familiar with a new S&W ultralight inexpensively. While at the NRA range in Fairfax, VA, I was in a 15 lane, fifty yard range with many large caliber guns firing (.460 Weatherby and 7.62x54R, and others) in a visibly smoke free environment and then realizing that I was belching huge plumes of smoke with every trigger pull. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until the end of the third reload of the five shot revolver that the range visibility was getting obscured by my tiny .38 with less than a two inch barrel! I holstered that weapon and used up my expensive 5.7x28mm with my Herstal FiveSeven pistol instead. This ammo smokes like fireworks. Avoid, unless you want a lot of smoke and like to clean your weapon.
4.0 Rating Plinking ammo - 6/16/2012.38 Special BVAC SWC 158 Grain 500 Round Box 850 fps Target and Plinking Ammunition4.0000
Reviewer: Dmitriy
Very smoky and dirty, but it's super cheap, so what do you expect? Perfectly fine for outdoor range use.
4.0 Rating Good Ammo - 5/23/2012.38 Special BVAC SWC 158 Grain 500 Round Box 850 fps Target and Plinking Ammunition4.0000
Reviewer: 9vMojo
Found this ammo to be accurate out of my Taurus 850. Didn't think it was so much smokey, but did dirty the gun up pretty much after 50 rounds. No other problems though. Gun cleaned up fine. I'd buy again.
5.0 Rating Smokem but Great - 4/30/2012.38 Special BVAC SWC 158 Grain 500 Round Box 850 fps Target and Plinking Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: JoeBoy254
This ammunition, as reported by others, was a little smokey and dirty, but the results on target were well above average. I shot 200 rds. and was getting .75-1.0 inch groups at 21 ft. and 1.25-1.50 inch groups at 45 ft. from a revolver with a 4 inch barrel. The casings were well sized. The accuracy of the charge and the bullet has to be spot on to produce these results from a factory load. I cannot say the same for the Remington or Winchester factory loads with the same caliber bullet that I have recently shot. Being smokey and a little dirty doesn't reflect on the quality of the bullet or charging powder. I would purchase this round from this manufacture again.
