Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Wondering if any one here has any experience with it? Made in Turkey, annealed brass casing, crimped boxer primed with green sealant. Made to NATO specs with lot testing to ensure 1 MOA at 100 meters. No NATO cross on the head stamp. 9.97/20rd box Same price as steel cased TULA. Picked up 10 boxes today to try out. Measured one box... COL spread 2.785-2.792 with 80% between 2.790-2.792. Cartridge weight 365.6. - 368.9 with 80% between 368.0 - 369.0. Price is good especially with the reloadable brass. Don't know if this will continue to be carried or not. Research done so far on the web indicates that is is fairly accurate. Any personal experiences...especially on reloading potential of the brass?

drkstrw 15 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Shot some out of my Kel-Tec RFB with no issues and out of my friends M1A Socom 16. Worked just fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Price per round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Price per round? About 0.50. $9.97/box of 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I hope to see those around here... would be good ammo to have, just for the price per round/reloadable brass afterwards. Sure beats the 18 or more a box for winchester 150gn soft point. And probably reloads just as many times as anything else out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'll give you all a range report once I get out this weekend. Seems well made. I just wish I had a chrono so I could give some velocities and deviation. Should be good plinker ammo if nothing else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TigerFire13 5 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Only recorded 3rds with the ZQI, 5 with everything else. It works, but I couldn't hit an 8" target at 200 yds with it.Granted, I am not using a bolt action, but when I can get pretty decent groups with the match ammo... Like you said, decent plinking ammo, at least for mine. Yes, I have much work to do with my skill level (or lack thereof), but if I get a handle on those fliers this Vepr is pretty dang good. It loves the Remington Premier Match and Hornady Custom Lite 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I shot 60 rounds through my 16" saiga. I was shooting 3moa, as good as most. But had several fail to chamber the last 1/2" or so. the round seemed to stick. Never tried forcing the carrier foreward. Just ejected the unused round. I believe it was the bullet and not the case? Anyway remember at least three in 60. Ymmv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
