Shoots well - cleans up well - haven't had any issues in 500 rounds The only caveat is that there's some steel in the bullet - I don't think the entire bullet is steel but we were turned away when we went to shoot at a local indoor rifle range - the fella used a magnet to test the bullets One area where I was surprised was how clean the propellant burns - having listened to some folks talk, I expected to find a mess on the bolt face and in the receiver but that just has not been my experience

I've just finished going through all of my first can of this sweet ammo. Incredibly cheap and reliable, I've not had any issues with my PSA AR-10 while shooting it. Ammo is consistent enough for just shooting away an afternoon and not breaking the bank. I plan to buy more soon!

Great ammo and has very little sulfur smell when shot. Actual projectiles do have steel inside of them. So they are not range legal in California because of environmental hazards. Great value and accurate.

Have to admit that Malasian army surplus made me nervous, but after shooting a few hundred rounds off of my M1A and my Mossberg patriot I'm a believer.

Shooting this round for 10years. Pure bargain. 1:12 Twist, 20 inch barrel: 0.6 MOA every time!

This is so far the most consistent factory round in my bench gun and at a very low price. I have not been able to duplicate the consistency in a hand load yet.

Bought 500 rounds, been through 160 so far. No misfires, no bad brass, no deformation. Shot them out of an M1A socom and they run great. Only time I've found ammo cheaper is in limited quantity clearance sales. These are factory new, despite some mixed reviews i've found elsewhere indicating otherwise. All brass is marked AI USA 308 Win. I'm sure there is better quality ammo, but truthfully in times like this (10/22) with 308 averaging $1/rd everywhere for cheap crap this is a great bargain.

There has been a surge in ammo sales and the availability is very limited ... or non-existant. Was glad to get this when I did. Hopefully will do more business in the future as supply of ammo picks up.

Wish they put a piece of tape to keep the box closed. I’m sure their rushing to get orders out, I recieved my package with an entire box open and rounds rolling around.

For a lighter cheaper round, this is a great bullet. Penetrated just behind the shoulder and severed the heart in half. The bullet did is job! Have shot all sorts of .308 and found this to be most effective.

Purchased 500 rounds of this ammo. Have fired 30 rounds so far with a total of 4 DUDS. Not a good ratio. Ammo is ok for just messing around and is pretty acurate given what I paid for it. DO NOT use this ammo for self defense or hunting, or any other time when you NEED the round to fire.

I shot a box of Wolf 145 grain FMJ 308's in my new Springfield M1A SOCIM-16 and they helped me break in the new rifle just fine. All rounds fired clean, no misfires, no jams. All rounds landed on my down-range target as expected. Will continue to use this ammo. All good. Happy shooter. Peter M.

DE said:
This ammo is garbage. Steel casing has hard time ejecting and ammo is flipping end-over-end until the target. Literally have lengthwise silhouette holes in the target with about an 18” spread at 100 yards. It’s like firing a curveball, you don’t know where it will hit unless you can predict the flipping rotation. Absolute garbage!

I use my AR10 308 for whitetail deer hunting. I love and trust all of Hornady’s bullets for their engineering and each individual bullet style intent. Do your homework and get the right one for what game you are shooting.
