Blasting ammo.. Herters. (Update Pg 3)

[Pork Chop]

I didn't notice a stink. And the cases were piling up nicely at 4 oclock. I did however notice the poor accuracy. I only tried one rifle on paper... and it looked like 4 moa ammo.

Ok, stinks more than Varget or factory Federal. Maybe it's just my sniffer?

I have poi shift of around 1.5" at 50yds vs AE223 and I'd agree with the 4 MOA accuracy. For cheap blaster food I much prefer the MFS zinc coated stuff, but given that Herters is good-n-cheap and I have a Cabelas in my town that generally always has it in stock, (even right now) I tend to buy alot of it.

Yeah.. I don't think I fired enough to notice the fragrance yet.

I'm going to run some of this in my beater gun... It's always nice to shoot ammo where I don't have to sort/process brass when I get home.

Oh great, I wouldn't notice the difference

I notice the stink. Typical import russian smell. Not offensive, but there.

Accuracy varies. 4 MOA is probably a pretty good number, but there have been better runs. Fine for blasting and drills to large target zones.

Mark- An H-buffered middy will sometimes chug and choke on these. With an H2, more consistently. I use the Herters as a load to ID threshold.

I need to know the gas port size on your test rifle before committing to anything.

I shot a hand load with XBR 8208 powder that only chrono'd 30 fps faster with ss109 pulled bullets... And that load was near or slightly over publish max.

On the 14.5 middy I shot the ammo through, there is a port of .080". It might have an A5 buffer system in it... I just can't remember.

NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION

What do you want to know?? It's a 14.5 middy Sabre Defence barrel, Chrome lined, lo pro gas block.

I just can't remember the buffer set up.

You fail gun forums. How can I trust this ammo to save me when the SHTF?

It's all about the MATH!
