I've shot several hundred rounds of it through both my 1x9 16" Middy and 1x7 10.5" SBR and never had a problem with it in any way. Good for range ammo. I had a gift card to Dick's and it was the only .223 55gr they had.

I use to buy it for plinking when it was cheap at walmart but now its not so cheap and there are better options for the same money.
would you like to share what other ammos are good for plinking and should have a decent accuracy up to 100 yards scoped?
Mild loaded ammo. (which I prefer for practice ammo)
The brass is awesome for reloading... no crimp, doesn't need trimming on the first loading, etc.
I agree that it's far from the best value in ammo. It's overpriced right now in the retail realm.

They shoot OK but like most have said, they are overpriced right now.
My only problem is from the 1K I ordered few months ago, I already had 5 or 6 setback with this ammo. Still have more than 500 rounds to go....

It's price prohibitive generally for what you get. I work part time at DSG and if you hit the ammo sales just right, (we just had a buy 1 get one 50% off), you can get it for a "decent" price, (whatever that means). The "Value Packs" are no value, ($105.00 for 200 rounds), but if you buy the boxes of 20, a case price for the same 200 rounds will be $89.98....I found UMC to be barely adequate, smelly and extremely mild and dirty ammunition....It went bang - that's about it....
I just used up the last of my supply. It actually shoots quite accurately in my guns, my gripe was that I had a dud round. In probably close to 10000 rds total of centerfire, I believe it was my first dud. Pissed me off cause it ruined my score. Generally speaking, give it a try, it may shoot well. It's no self defense round, but it's also easier on the weapon than say XM193.
