Long Shot 1,287 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Anybody tried this stuff? Grabbed a can of it from AIM before I noticed its Berdan primed . Oh well, just saves the hassle of picking up brass. Curious if anyone has used it. Filthy crap? Clean, consistent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I find the Carl Gustav 84mm recoilless ammunition is pretty clean. Accuracy isn't bad. But don't believe the part about recoilless... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clean, consistent? all military ammo is going to Berdan primed, if you want boxer primed for reloading commercial .223 is the way to go. as for "filthy crap", "clean", you have to clean your rifle anyway, so what does it really matter there? as for "constancy" all military ammo is going to hit what you're aiming at if you zero it for that LOT number, of course that will change from LOT number to different LOT number. if you're looking for something in the sub-MOA range, military ammo is not the way to go.

Just so I understand correctly: What you are trying to say in response to my original question is; No, you have no first hand experience with this particular ammunition. Is that right?

Is that right? I've shot thousands and thousands of NATO military ammo from a variety of countries when it was like a arms bazaar at gunshows, including the Swedish 5.56, they all basically perform the same, one no worse then the other. that's the whole entire concept behind standardized ammo (NATO) it's all loaded to the same specification, powder composite, bullet weight and construction etc... so it will function and perform to other NATO country's ammo bottom line, you won't be taking any gamble buying NATO surplus ammo, it's all good. now buying ammo made in india or pakastan, that's a whole different ball of wax, there is no quality control on that ammo.
