I came upon this company on accident via ammoseek.com. The price was right and shipping was cheap so I figured I'd try it out.

This isn't a Molon quality post, but I haven't found anything else out there about it.

Chrono results for 10 shots (75 degrees outside):

Average: 2588
ES: 60
SD 16

The 10 shot group was just over an inch with two called fliers. Without the fliers it was just under .75" at 100 yards.

Rifle is a 16" BCM SS410 1:8.

I've never shot the IMI or Magtech so I'm not sure how it compares in terms of velocity, but the accuracy and consistency is there. I'm going to buy a case and hope that Defender Ammunition doesn't turn into another Southwest Ammunition.

Edit: Title should obviously say SMK..

Interesting. What kind of brass do they use?

(also... if you click "edit", then click "go advanced" button... you can edit the Title)

Thanks for the edit help.

Brass says "JAG 5.56x45" I have no idea what that means but I'm sure ten seconds on the internet will show it.
