Warning. Least desireable ammo to purchase. Opinion

[nf1e]

Picked this crap up from CMP a few years ago and added a few cans to the stash. After hearing some folks had bad results, I set it aside.
Well, yesterday my concerns were justified. Shot 100 rnds though a few different rifles. 90% or more developed neck splits and a few cartridges didn't even have primers in the empty pockets. At 100 yds there was a variation in 7 inches vertically. Absolute worse junk I have ever used. Made the old Egyptian garbage seem like GMM.

After a little thought, very little, there are 800+ rnds on the way to the collet puller. Soon to become re-loading components minus the brass and primers.

Just pulled down 100 rnds and the reason for inaccuracy is quite evident. Not sure what the power is but load varied almost 4 gr, from 37.9 to 41.8 with the majority around 41.4.

That stuff has damaged a few rifles at CMP matches back in the day. I had major case head separation personally. I would not shoot it as is.

I have some I plan to tear down, any info on what powder they used? Just add to the flower bed I suppose.

Had a gentleman that live close by the producer and he claims that they were using Varget. Load weight would indicate the possibility. I plan on re-using the bullets and powder in good brass and load per Varget seeing that's my favorite powder anyway.

I know you already know this,
but be careful and start with a lighter load and work up,

Hornady puller does a nice clean job for my purposes.

Still thinking Varget?

A little extra light on the subject helps as the eyes get older and finger pinches take longer to heal.

Worked on breaking down 600 rnds of this junk today. Great way to spend a couple of hours.





Separated out a few of the different head stamps.
