I got 1,000 rounds of it last month, as it was the cheapest .223 on market. I’ve shot maybe 3-4 boxes with no hiccups, and it’s plenty accurate in my Ruger American.

Thanks.
If you have an interest in good accuracy, buy a small quantity and try it. When I first purchased an AR some years ago, I sampled about ten or more bulk ammos, shooting groups from a benchrest. They all fired and functioned perfectly but none were very accurate.

Hornady, Winchester, and Federal Match ammo (very expensive) shot quite accurately as expected. Well-developed handloads with good bullets did as well or better than match ammo.

If accuracy is unimportant, you can probably find a lot of good buys.

Decent plinking/range ammo. Reports I’ve heard have been favorable not a lot of info about it floating around.

It’s one of the cheapest options available for 223/556 currently. Good quality brass too.

If what you shot was fired in an AR platform rifle how did it perform function wise ? I don't need MOA accuracy. This would be for range fun only.
