Reviewer: sharp shooter
The best i could group with this ammo is maybe 1.5 inches. I will stick with the Federal 168 BTHP or better yet handloads.
5.0 Rating Still the best - 12/5/2010Ammo 7.62x51 Federal Hollow Point Boat Tail 175 Grain 20 Round Box Match NATO M118 Sniper Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: mcgulfdrvr
I made a 4 shot 1/4 MOA open sight group @ 200M yesterday 12/4/10 at Okeechobee Shooting Sports with a NM M1A, using a fwd rest, on a 12" Dirty Bird Target. I purchased and shot for comparison; 308 SSA 175 Gr match ammo, Buffalo Bore .308 175 Gr. "Sniper",7.62 AE 168 Gr. M1A, and another Mfr.'s 7.62 M118LR in this rifle, a scoped M40 and a Remington 700TWS on the same range with the same results. Nothing comes close to the M118 offered here. Period.
5.0 Rating Nice - 11/23/2010Ammo 7.62x51 Federal Hollow Point Boat Tail 175 Grain 20 Round Box Match NATO M118 Sniper Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: Ransome
I shot three groups of five shots at 100 yards. With M1A iron sights off the bench and with sandbags. The first group was 1 and 7/8. The second and third were 2.5 inches. It kicks like a mule compared to .308 Win. I will buy again.
5.0 Rating Mil Spec brass is never shiny - 11/10/2010Ammo 7.62x51 Federal Hollow Point Boat Tail 175 Grain 20 Round Box Match NATO M118 Sniper Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: CSM, USA(Ret)
I keep reading reviews where someone is grading poorly the military specification ammunition they bought because the casings were not shiny and were discolored. So lets sort that out so everyone understands they do not have "seconds" or "rejects" or "old" ammunition. The brass for this military specification ammo and the mil spec ammo you can get on CTD or any other vendor for 5.56x45, 9MM, .45, etc., is never shiny and buffed pretty. The various ammunition manufactors/vendors charge extra for that process which is done for civilian ammuniton after the bullet is loaded to the casing. Since that additional proess is not relevant to the performance of the ammunition the military does not pay for that additional process. The vendors only do that for the commercial market ammunition for commercial hunters and shooters. because the uninformed "naturally assume something must be wrong with it" if whatever they buy is not shiny and pretty right out of the box. In making the ammo, the ammo casings are discolored near the throat of the casing, and for the government to pay to make that shiny again is a waste of time and money. So never expect military grade, professional killing grade, ammo to be shiny and you will be wiser and never disappointed.
4.0 Rating great for the price, but not perfect - 11/2/2010Ammo 7.62x51 Federal Hollow Point Boat Tail 175 Grain 20 Round Box Match NATO M118 Sniper Ammunition4.0000
Reviewer: paitriot
Bought about 200 rounds of the M118LR. The brass looked old so I will assume it's old surplus or rejected military spec ammo. For the price it shoots pretty good. Very consistent within each box from cold bore to hot bore. However I did notice a degree of shift between boxes. This threw off my zero by several inches at 300yds. I used these out past 400+ yds and got 2-3 inch groups out of an FNAR with a 20" Heavy barrel using a NightForce NXS 12-42x56 on an 86 degree day with 68% humidity at about 100 ft elevation. These are great up close like at 100 yards and I will use them, but I need consistency to get out to 1000 yards.
