Great reloads
Shot over 200 so far with absolutely no issues at all! I would definitely buy more when available!
July 8, 2024
223 reloads
No issues with the rounds and fast delivery Thanks

Worth it
Casings are good. No issues so far. I'm about 400 rds into the purchase. No firing issues. Accuracy is as expected. Good range ammo.
February 27, 2024
Not pleased
Doesn’t cycle very well feel like it’s under pressured. Short cycles often even with different springs etc wouldn’t recommend.
February 22, 2024
Recommend purchasing
Great price for quantity, help maintain marksmanship skills at a great price
December 30, 2023
Very disappointing quality
At least one bad primer out of every mag and I had a round with a bullet that was completely loose
November 24, 2023
Smooth Ammo
No issues. Shoots smooth every time.

reload ammo
First 100 rounds with no misfires. Accurate target hits.

Gorgeous stuff!
BVAC leads the industry in factory reloads, I picked up 2k rounds and this is perfect in every way, absolutely zero problems. Take advantage of this deal while you can in addition to the great service and fast more than fair priced delivery.

Satisfied customer
It was as expected. This is not the first time I have gotten it. I was satisfied, so I came back fr more.

Price per
Great for plinking and practice
October 26, 2023
Can’t go wrong with the price. The ammo shoots great.

Quality reloaded ammo, never disappoints at the range.
It's 5 star for what it is. Properly reloaded ammo, brass casing good jacket on the projectile. Good for the range in a 5x5.6 or .223 with less muzzle velocity than duty rounds. Just take that into account and zero off of your factory-new 5x5.6. Depending on the distance, this reloaded ammo will have a bit more travel in your grouping and can suffer from more bullet drop but it's solid for your average range day. Also, made in USA so there's that.
March 24, 2023
I was impressed with the ammo.
Very good round for target shooting. No problem with ejection or jambing.
March 21, 2023
Good ammunition
Great shooting ammo I have had no issues with it and will be getting more
March 18, 2023
I’ve only fired about 100 rounds so far but it feed through just fine
January 10, 2023
Really good ammo at a great price.

BVAC is my choice of 9mm and 223.
I have purchased and shot BVAC rounds for years. I don’t remember having any problems with this ammunition.
September 10, 2022
Excellent ammoEvery rounds fired as of to date (100 rds)
July 30, 2022
Excellent reloads
Excellent buy for out target practicing
July 15, 2022
Exactly what I wanted for less than I was willing to spend
Looks real pretty and ran without issue. Saving the brass for a buddy that reloads. Delivery was quick and easy.
June 20, 2022
Out of the 350 I have used only one had an issue firing
February 23, 2022
Great ammunition, fires well,no jamming, very pleased
February 4, 2022
I liked them overall, but a few caused my gun to jam.
October 31, 2021
Decent range ammo
It is good ammo for range shooting, i will say they are dirty, wiping them off claimed 4-5 rags. It says its loaded with winchester brass right now, but my box came around 1 winchester out of every 10 or so rounds. I cant complain tho the ammo is dependable cycles well, shoots decent at a unbeatable price.
October 31, 2021
Great product
Works fine in several .223 rifles. No problems no complaints.
October 30, 2021
Shot about 200 rounds and no problems no jams and fairly accurate was shouting at about 1 MOA at 100 yards with best gun and about 3 MOA with less accurate rifle.
October 20, 2021
Good ammo
Good stuff no firing issues no feed issues noted. I think this is a good buy.
October 15, 2021
Great ammo for reloads!!
Great ammo for reloads will be purchasing more!
October 10, 2021
Gets stuck in chamber
This ammo gets stuck in the chamber and will not allow me to manually eject the rounds. I dont know why. But it does. DO NOT USE.
October 10, 2021
223 Reloads
Works great. Just as described
September 29, 2021
Too Many Miss-fires
I wish I could give it zero stars. The ammo miss-fires every 4th or 5th round. It either doesn't fire (dud) or it fires, but the bolt jams forward in a way where it wedges and must be pried loose. I have paid a gunsmith twice to diagnose the issue. The rifle is fine. It fires perfectly with all other ammo. Now I have ~470 rounds that I cannot use.
September 29, 2021
My gun will not cycle the ammo, i shoot 1 at a time,it sludges my gun up
September 17, 2021
They look like new.
September 13, 2021
Well done!
So far great, I checked the overall length and crimp! No issues found! No loading or chambering errors. I reload many different calibers, therefore I check several measurements along with chronograph results! Very consistent product! I will purchase again.
September 10, 2021
Accurate and reliable
Great ammo ordered 500 burned through 400 of it no problems at all
August 15, 2021
Bang for buck
I have not had a single misfire or jam with this ammo!! Definitely recommend
August 2, 2021
Perfect for range shooting
I bought a box to go shooting with my buddy at his property this stuff is perfect for that. Wouldn't try to bring it into the silver bullet because it is reloaded but I have shot 50% of the box so far with no problems
August 8, 2018
Poor bullet seating would recommend Freedom Munitions
Very poor quality control bullet seating depth is all over the place
July 24, 2018
Shoots well in Bushmaster but...
Would have given 5 star but the slipped in a .222 casing. Didn't notice it until it failed to fire, failed to extract. Had to pry live round out of chamber. Fortunately it did't fire. Can't find current company contact to report the issue. Pros: Good Price / Value Cons: check rounds visually before loading
July 23, 2018
Best bang for the buck
Brass ammo for the price of steel. I have bought several thousand rounds of this ammo and have never had a fail to fire ever. I have shot it through my AR-15 and my bolt action both with impressive results. This is the only .223 ammo I will buy.
July 6, 2018
Great Ammo
I finally got around to getting to the range with these and they all shot without issue and nice tight groups. Best part is brass....more brass to reload
June 22, 2018
Will definitely buy again!
Good ammo for the price, no issues through my bushmaster.
May 1, 2018
I would definitely buy this again
Brass happy
March 26, 2018
i would buy this ammo again
bought 2 boxes for my m4 shoot around 5oo rounds np love the ammo good price :) will buy again
March 15, 2018
Great value
Shot 500 rounds with no failures. Good looking bullets and fairly accurate at 100 yards. Great value for plinking. Would of ordered again but was out of stock.
February 28, 2018
I would purchase from CTD again
My bulk Ammo arrived sooner than expected and everything went perfectly.

Will this round work in my AR15 -223x45 ?
Answer:
This ammo is compatible with firearms chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, which can also be written as 5.56x45mm NATO.
Can this be used in place of 5.56 ammo?
Answer:
If your firearm is chambered for 5.56 NATO ammunition, then it is also compatible with this ammunition.
Is this ammo compatible with my AR-15?
Answer:
Only if your AR-15 is chambered for .223 REM or 5.56 NATO
Can I use this ammo in a standard psa at 15 freedom model
Answer:
Yes
Will these reloads feed through a full auto gun? -A production made full auto, not a homemade.
Answer:
Yes, they should.
Is the primer corrosive?
Answer:
No, the primer is not corrosive.
Glad the jacket question has been asked and answered, being in CA, ranges do not allow steel cores. Can you please advise the CORE material of the BVAC round? TY.
Answer:
It is a lead bullet with a copper alloy jacket.
Is the 55 grain bullet jacket a bi-metal steel and copper jacket like the Russian military bullets? or is it a typical copper alloy like most major US brands? I don't want bi-metal steel sparking against the granite rocks in the dry Texas Hill country
Answer:
BVAC ammunition is not loaded with bi-metal jacketed projectiles. The bullet jacket is copper alloy.
Is this brass cased?
Answer:
Yes it is Reman once fired brass. Before you buy I would recommend you checking out Freedom Munitions. They have higher quality control then BVAC
