It's EXCELLENT!

Buy 1,000 this month, buy 1,000 next month... Until you have enough to cover 12-18 months of active sport shooting, and never let it drop below that amount.

Not the stuff I got. Poor accuracy and the primers fall out of about 2/3 of the fired cases
I could write something cliché and insightful, but that would be too cliché and insightful.

I shoot first... its better to give than to receive

I ordered 250 rounds of 9mm and 250 rounds of .223

I guess I will see for myself.  I seem to be finding mixed reviews.

When you say the primers fall out of 2/3 of the fired cases, do you mean it jams up the gun or just falls out after it ejects and hits the floor?

When I pick the cases off the floor the are missing. Haven't had any jam in the gun.  But loose primer pockets is a safety issue for me. Usually means the brass is used too much and weak and should be tossed out. I still occasionally shoot a few here and there. But I don't think I would buy it again. I'd rather pay a little more for more reliable ammo. There are plenty of people who sell reloads (they are licensed of course) and have great reviews, right here in Michigan. There prices were good too, I'll see if I can find their info.

2/3? and you didn't return it?  What did they say when you called them?

I have ordered a few thousand rounds from them, none have failed to go bang, never noticed any primers falling out or loose.

I personally don't care if the primers disintegrate into oblivion and a demon is spawned in hell as long as it doesn't have a problem while in the gun.

I do plan on reloading so hopefully the brass isn't on it's last leg.

I bought them through a friend who ordered too many. I got them dirt cheap from him and only bought 750 or so, so not worth my time to call. They'll just sit in a box in the basement until I decide to use them or sell them.

I was reading a story in a gun mag just this last week about a primer falling out of a casing and lodging in the pistol.  I don't think you want that, especially in a SD situation.

Primer falls in pistol.  Shooter doesn't realize it.  Shooter changes to self-defense ammo after practice.  Shooter needs to use his gun in SD later.  Gun malfunctions due to primer interfering with operation.  We all visit shooter at Sparrow hospital as he clings to life.

I would think that when switching to SD ammo the person would at least rack a round into the chamber.

I will be sure to clean my firearm and inspect it after using that ammo.
