What Customers Say

This stuff is a great deal, always. It's a little slow compared to most legit m193 so if you're switching over, confirm your zero, but I've never had a tough primer or cycling failure with mid length gas. Can't beat the price for that reliability.

bought this ammo cause I just love the Nato rounds to shoot better results and love the way it sounds when being shot, the ammo is clean and very accurate. its also a great prirce at that, so I will definitely be buying more as soon as I get low.

Anthony M.

I've been shooting this brand of ammo for over 10 years have never had any issue with quality or damage. It's a little dirtier then other brands and makes a great training round or for those on a budget a great self defense load.
