T-97 use is good. I have seen some bullets pushed into the case but that is not a problem specific to any rifle but rather a problem with the rounds. Not crimped properly or not enough tar or whatever is used to form a seal between the bullet and case mouth.

Tar? Seriously? In my experience, the bullets being pushed into the case is more of a mag issue than an issue with the ammo.
Some people have experienced popped primers and some have reported issues with key-holing with the Norinco 223 ammo but in the several thousand if shot I've never seen either of these problems. The primers are apparently hard and not much fun for bolt guns but for semis, it's good cheap fun in a can! For those inclined, the primers pockets are not crimped which makes for easier reloading.
 
How much is shipping costing people? I'm in Edmonton AB

SFRC has a terrific shipping cost estimator. Just put it in your cart and you will see the shipping estimate button. Keep in mind you have to choose UPS for ammo shipping. Still works out cheaper for me than Canada Ammo with their free shipping but I'm in Ontario...in Edmonton, that might not be the case.
 
Shipping: I think it was $23 to Ontario on my invoice. The "hunting" discount was about $37. With shipping and taxes (13% HST) I'm at about $450. It will be cheaper in AB (no PST), BC (no HST), etc.
 
Ordered last night before bed...................shipping confirmation rec'd this evening. Great service. Funny how thread on other forum sponsor is getting so much attention to try and get a price match to save on shipping, then 3 weeks later will be back complaining that emails aren't being answered and package hasn't shipped.
