I am just stocking up. The ammo has not been used, but I am sure the performance will be fine. The price was right and I have bought the Federal Brand before. The quality is good. Shipping was fast and will order from Ammo.com again.

Excellent ammo. Shot several hundred rounds from from my GP-100, Ruger Redhawk .357, and Henry Big Boy Steel with no problems. Great ballistics, and very accurate. Will buy again.

I found this product to be adequate for my needs. My only wish is that Washington stops jacking up the price. Soon we won't be able to afford it and that is their goal. We will probably see this in our lifetime.
