Extremely dirty. Bad batch?
Review by nrogg
I thought that "surely this ammo with hundreds of positive reviews on my favorite ammo sales website must be the bees knees." Honestly, I could not really gauge the performance of this ammo because my first trip out with it was just unpleasant. Giant plumes of dirt on every shot across 5 guns, 3 recently cleaned.
I don't know if I just got a bad batch or what but this has been by far my least favorite ammo I've ever used. Honestly considering just relegating this purchase to the deep recesses of my closet.

500 rounds, no malfunctions.
Review by RealUser
Performance seemed perfectly fine, some fliers but I'm not the best shot, more likely my bad trigger pulls than the ammo. Not a single failure to fire. If you live in a more humid environment and don't burn through bulk ammo quickly, you may want to throw a desiccant pack into the bag as it does not come with one. Ammo is lose in a plastic bag within the box. All in all quite good.

Good Value and Reliable Range Ammo
Review by Beau
Really cheap and reliable range ammo, but the ammo is really dirty. There's what looks like dried adhesive on the copper jacket of each round that was flaking off in my mags, on my hands, and probably in my rifle T-T.
Good thing it's dirt cheap!

Not recommended
Review by PiecedShooter
I don't think I've ever had ammo that made my jaw drop, and not in a good way. Whatever they did to manufacture the boxes I received should never be replicated. I have a Marlin model 20 with a 21 inch barrel, and I have never had any issues before when buying ammo from Walmart or my local gun shop. Thing shoots like a dream. Targets under 300 yards don't stand a chance. Anyway, I bought this ammo because it was dirt cheap at 6.2 cents per round and I wanted to start plinking as a weekend hobby. At 50 yards, I averaged a group the size of a dinner plate with this ammo, with some outliers being up to 3 feet off target, again, at 50 yards (I didn't think missing this bad was even possible). Switch to some decent cci ammo and the group shrinks to 0.25 inches at 50 yards (it's not the gun). I would not purchase this ammo again when it's only use is plinking, and very unreliably at that.
