    good

  • Big John said:

    This is not the first 1000 rounds I've bought of this ammo. Never had a misfire, fairly clean burn and accurate. I'll be back for more when this is gone.

  • Scott2333 said:

    A++++++++

  • Jimbillyjoebob said:

    I feed this ammo to my AK on a regular basis and it never has choked on it yet. It is not the cleanest burning, but for the money you can't beat it.

    Ammo arrived in very professional packaging and when I took it out shooting it shot flawlessly

  • deadeye45 said:

    Nothing negative to say..goes bang every time, great price and got it fast and it was christmas week like I said no cons

  • Smurf said:

    Great. Affordable.

  • BB said:

    This ammo fired consistently accurate groups out of my KR 103. It came in a nice packaging with a plastic bullet holder that will be useful for reloading, and all at a decent price. I recommend it and will be buying more.

  • Al G said:

    Shot great groups. No misfires. Will buy more

  • BRUCE said:

    Good ammunition. Feeds, fires and ejects without any problems. Accuracy good out to 300 yds. Sealed and coated casings are good for long term storage. I will purchase more in the future.

  • Michael Anthony said:

    if you have an AK just shoot the lacquered stuff.. if you have an AR this is the best stuff i've seen besides american brass. very clean and easy on your carbine the metal is softer than milspec receivers and much much softer than your barrel. this is actually true with most steel cased ammo however this hasn't even scratched the finish on the receiver after 180 rounds that ran flawlessly on an AR15 pistol chambered in 7.62x39.

  • Matthew said:

    Best prices and fastest shipping around. Thanks guys!

  • Country said:

    Don't get for AR in 7.62 HP`s do not cycle unless you give the feed channel where the lower meets the barrels chamber a little attention a file and sand paper did the trick after about 10 freaking hrs =( I gave 4 stars on quality cause I hate steel but oh well just shtf backup ammo I planned on storing Ty Ammo Dot net for speedy service o7

  • James Bond Bennett said:

    Great value for money ! Same quality you find in a more expensive round.

  • BigD said:

    This ammo is waaaaayyyy overpriced

  • MB said:

    This ammo was great for the range, mi issues with anything. It fired without any jams or other problems.

  • William said:

    Had the shipment in a few days, two days after they actually shipped it. Ammo was well packed and did not suffer in shipping. Ammo itself looks good, steel case, lacquered. Functioned well and had reasonable groups, 3.5 in compared to 1 in for handloads. Rifle was very dirty after firing , dirtier than with handloads by a large margin. Rifle cleaned up well though I wouldn't let it sit before cleaning after using this ammo.

  • Jon said:

    Great ammo for a great price, about 100 rounds in and no issues whatsoever.

  • Bcino said:

    Fire’s every round , no mis, jams will be ordering more

  • Ian said:

    I put 400 rounds through my ak-103 works flawlessly its good shooting ammo. I like that the cases are lacquer sealed. Probably won't be able to take it to an indoor range I did the magnet test with the bullet and it sticks so it's definitely a copper wash steel bullet but it goes through half inch mild steel. Definitely the cheapest ammo that I could find and there's no complaints on my behalf it's not corrosive at all.

  • Mabunsreng Ra said:

    Amazing production

  • Zack said:

    This stuff shoots straight, fires every single time, and makes tight groups! Some say it's corrosive but I'm telling you I've never seen one speck of rust or anything that would lead me to believe this. A true must try!

    I was unsure about ordering ammo online and having it shipped to my house but this process was very easy and simple. Absolutely no issues getting my order delivered and the ammo has been running smoothly through my rifle. I definitely recommend coming here to get what you need.

  • JtAlmond said:
