I used this ammo during the break in of my DPMS 16" bull barrel and had no problems. @ 50 yards with a Eotech I was putting a 10 round group into the size of a quarter.

Bought 100 rounds out of curiosity and found out why it's so cheap! The good news is, it all went bang and had no feed or ejection problems (rare with a bolt action). The bad news is, my Savage has always given me sub moa groups but not with this stuff! My basic groups at 100 yards were 2"+ and if you count all the "flyers" they opened up to just over 4". Was hoping to reload the brass and had 1 split neck with case lengths ranging from 2 cases at 2.750" (minimum trim length) down to 2.735" (way under minimum trim). After trimming them all to 2.735" and deburring the bad primer holes, their weights ranged from 40 to 44 grains with the majority in the 41 to 43 grain area. If you want cheap ammo to impress the guys at the range when you "spray and pray" with your autos and semi autos, go for them. If you want to hit what you're aiming at and then reload, look elsewhere!

By Myles

from Greenville, SC

I have shot 500-600 rounds of this ammunition through my ar15 in the last year and it seems to be good clean reliable ammunition and meets expectation for the price point. I have had 0 misfeeds, jams, no-fires, or cycling issues and the bolt always locks back on empty mag unlike pmc bronze ammo. I can't speak on how well this ammo groups since I use it at run and gun tactical carbine matches where most targets are within 30 yardsalthough at his price point I don't expect "match grade" ammo grouping. Brass seems good for reloading.

from Detroit Lakes, MN

I bought a box of 100 rounds to go to the range and have a good time... well that good time ended when over 33% of the rounds failed to fire in three different guns... really frustrating wont buy again.

By Jon

from Corsicana, TX

Bought this ammo to break in a new AR. Had no problems with fit or function. All rounds ejected and fired well. I didn't test accuracy. There were no dents or imperfections on the ammo I got. This product is well worth the money.

By Rick

from Hilton, NY

I use this ammo to hunt woodchucks. It is clean shooting, clean ammo, doesn't leave residue in barrel. Shoots good out of my AR Colt 15. No jams. Shoot out of my pistol a single shot Competitor. Shoots clean out of the pistol and shoots accurate.

By Ray

from Tumwater, WA

Began doing accuracy testing of .223/5.56mm ammunition and this was one of my first to test. Received a best 5 shot group of 1.3" at 100yds with a 16" Heavy barrel AR-15. 2 more groups came in at 2.1" and 2.5". Depending on the manufacture lot# and your rifle you could expect a 2" group from this round if you do your part. Cycles fine but the powder smells funny

By Walton

from WAYNESVILLE, NC

This ammo consistently shoots .25 to .5 MOA groups from the AR-15 that my wife and I built using parts purchased from Midway USA (except for the lower receiver - we bought it in Roswell, GA). In fact, American Eagle ammo has never shot a group for me that was larger than .5 MOA.Thanks Midway USA, DPMS and Federal for providing the very best products at very reasonable prices. I wish we lived in Columbia, MO.

By Richard

from Gulf Coast, TX

Ran 100 rounds through my Bushmaster AR with Slide Fire stock. Not a single jam or misfire even firing "fully auto". Ammo was clean. I cannot speak to accuracy as we were just using this ammo to play with the Slide Fire.

By Chris

from Melbourne, FL

Being honest, I know very little about this stuff. However; the price was great (I bought 500 rounds). I haven't had any issues with any of the ammo yet. I shoot it through an HK MR556A1 (AR-15) rifle.
