Anyone try out this ammo as of late sfrc was selling for 169.99. Please give me you input and experience with the rounds. Reliable or not, not bad good ect... what guns like it what don’t. Thank you
 
Heard some good things, heard some bad things. Personally, I've fired about 200 rounds of it without any issues. I did notice that it shoots a lot lighter though compared to say Blazer

What pistol did you run them through? i some times get expanded shells when i shoot steel case but i just watched a video of how to fix that by using motor oil in the chamber. Do you ever experience that?

There was some scuttlebutt a while back about it being pretty hot stuff (as in ++p). I tried a thousand rounds of it just because it was as the op said, cheap. Tried it in a Girsan (Beretta clone), Gen-5 Glock 17, Beretta APX, and an M&P-9 2.0. None of them had any issues with it. I took a close look at the spent cases to see if there were any signs of imminent failure. Nothing to report. Although it was just as dirty as Blazer 9mm.

I would buy it again.

Nice thanks for the input man.
 
Bought one box from my local Sail store. It would not run in my Gen 4 Glock 17. Felt under powered. The ammo would fire but it would not eject at all or it would stovepipe. However, the ammo ran flawlessly in my Ruger PCC.
 
I have used 1000 rounds. My G19 hates them. 1 in 5 will fire. The rest won't but they show a nice firing pin mark in the primer. My Trojan fires them just fine. Not even a hiccup. I gave some to my brother in law. He had similar results. Working well in some pistols, problematic in others. My guess would be a hard primer. I won't buy again. Very frustrating at times.
 
American forums state that it is underpowered and the case has reduced capacity. International Shooting Supplies had it on for a great price over Black Friday, but I passed on it due to poor reviews.
 
The price was low enough to entice me into buying a case, out of about 600 rounds fired I had one squib load that lodged a bullet in the barrel and countless misfeeds along with light primer strikes.

All the light primer strikes went bang with a second try, the squib load projectile luckily prevented the next round from chambering and I was able to tap it out. This was out of a gen4 glock 19 that normally gobbles anything with aplomb.

Would not buy again, unless for clearance drills practice.
