Ended up near $230 with shipping and taxes. Considering cost is going back up again, and an impending panic inbound as reports are that domestic manufacturing is going to be headed to .mil, and no more overruns.. I don't think it's a bad price for non 5.56 M193/M855. It's no Mk262 Mod 0, but should be good for hunting 2 legged creatures.  _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Have you ordered from them in the past? Good experience? I have never heard of them, and am always a bit skeptical about new-to-me online retailers. Can't help it, lol.

No history whatsoever, however they do have reviews on some of their products, and they're not all 5*, so not all scammy. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Okay, that's good to hear.
Norma is gooood rifle brass, have reloaded a shit ton. Description said mixed HS, is it all Norma? You'll get tighter groups if same HS, as the case volume will be same, for consistent pressure/velocity. Please report on how it groups at 100, when possible. Some reman ammo is very good quality, hopefully this is too. I might order something from them now... _________________ I'm a Morlock, in a land of Eloi... |

Some reman ammo is very good quality, hopefully this is too. I might order something from them now... Just grabbed first one I saw... didn't check for other headstamps... I guess I should. Grouping? Probably not for a while. Other priorities. Also, this isn't the gun for that. It's for an AR pistol with a 5" bbl.... yes, not a typo... 5"... I wanted something a bit heavier since fragmentation goes out the window. I'm hoping for some minor expansion or yawing on impact. I'll stick to my 5" AR pistol in 7.62x39 for social engagements.  Also, also..... price increased since posting... may/may not still be a good deal. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Holy crap 5"! Never mind about accuracy evaluation! HA!
Gotta shoot that bitch at night, be like the flamethrower we had at the shoot last month! Now .52 cents/round, still not bad for that bullet type, and considering what prices have gone up to over last 2 weeks. _________________ I'm a Morlock, in a land of Eloi... |

I have ordered from these guys several times. .308, .556, and blackout. Every one went bang. Just plinking with my nephew, so wasn't really paying attention to accuracy. Good price sometimes- No problems with shipping or ordering.
Tracers were fun but not very bright. I'll order from them again. |
