    Loved the price. No problems at all.

  • Shaggybird said:

    Good, cheap plinking ammo for your AR15 range toy… you will feel very dirty after burning thru this big ol box, almost as dirty as it will make your weapon so be prepared to clean and lube your pew pew afterwards! Practice safe shooting while at the range: no pulling out of your lane, try your best to keep your rounds center mass and fight the temptation to try head shots or facials on those silhouette targets!

  • Al said:

    Very nice ammo to target practice and cheap to shoot a lot of.

  • luckey one said:

    They arrived promptly. They fired very well and for the price i will buy more. I am very satisfied

  • J. T. said:

    This is steel cartridge cases, steel core bullets and they have been banned from all indoor ranges I have been to as the round fouls up the range backstop. The cases are also Berdan primed and cannot be used for reloading, same garbage as TulAmmo. If you want to recycle you'll have to shoot several tons to recycle the steel. NOT RE-LOADABLE. They shoot, had some failure to feeds, I will never buy Russian made garbage again.

    I bought 1k rounds of steel cased .223 and it arrived in less than 48 hours. I know you aren’t “supposed” to shoot steel cased out of an ar15, but after about 500 rounds I’ve experienced zero problems. It’s hard to beat 35 cents per round.

  • WOLFMAN JACK said:

    Nothing wrong with this ammo, shots straight, and on target. !!!!!!

  • Marvelous said:

    Next time I buy ammo I will return!

  • Drk said:

    Fired around 150 rounds. No jams or misfires. Found two dented casings when loading mags. and discarded them. All and all a good value for the range.

  • JackW said:

    I bought this for some cheap range ammo and I had a jam on my first mag. Got through a couple more mags and hand another couple jams. I expected it, but not as frequently as it did. Not terrible if you just need practice ammo, though. Feels good.

  • Fred said:

    Plinking or hunting I get accurate shots with no misfire

  • Tristan Tate said:

    I love it please give me more!!!!!

  • jarhead, gimpy said:

    very good deals and so far good ammo

  • David said:

    I ordered this ammo on a Monday and it was at my door on Friday! Considering that it had to be shipped four states away that is FAST shipping. I also like the fact that Ammo.com donates a portion of every sale to pro gun institutions. This is now my number one "go to" source for ammo.

  • Dave said:

    Compared to brass prices you cant beat it! Shot about 500 rounds between two weekends had no issues every round shot flawlessly I will be returning for more

  • Rob said:

    It was a good ammo. Fired and help itself well on the 100, 200, and 300 ranges.

  • John said:

    Cost of steel cased ammo - cons of steel cased ammo - but well made AFAICT

  • JayG said:

    I've been using Tula in my XDM .45 for plinking and have had no issues so I thought I'd give these a try, but the Tula .223 Rem 55gr malfunctions VERY often in my modern sporting rifle. Every 2-4 rounds caused a failure to eject/cycle, or double feed. I've had NO issues with brass in the same rifle. Not worth the pennies saved, I won't be buying Tula .223 again or even finishing the rounds I bought.
