Default Herter's .223 Ammo

Any y'all had any experience with this ammo? Got a deal on it at Cabelas.com. Bought 200 rounds @ 5.99 ea for 20. I've heard this is just reboxed Tula. The AR eats that stuff up, hopefully the same with this. Thanks. BTW, mines a M&P 15T

Got a bunch from Cabela's when they had them with the ammo can, some as low as $4.49 for 20 and this was in mid to late December. They are as mentioned reboxed Tulammo which is stamped. My M&P Sport has no problem cycling this.

Actually, I'm fairly sure Herter's ammo is made by Sellier & Bellot for them so it's really Czech made, not Russian. It's not made by Tula from everything I've read.

Several people that I know have used Herters with no issues. I have a bunch of it, but have not used any yet.

Their bulk boxed brass-cased .223 is either Fiocchi (GFL headstamp) or S&B.

With the Russian ammo the only way to be sure of who made the ammo is by what's stamped on the case head.

Cabelas has jobbed-out their Herters brand ammo to numerous companies: Tula and Ulyanovsk of Russia, PT PINDAD of Indonesia (.380 only), Fiocchi of Italy, and now S&B of the Czech Republic and CCI in Idaho (Nyclad TNJ loads).
