.223 Mililtary Sub Conrtact Ammo

Has anyone bought this stuff? It's so cheap and seems like great plinking ammo at the range. Any feedback on these would be great.

That's all it says. Military Sub-Contract Ammunition. No brand. Just says it is made for the military. You order a 1000 rounds for about $330 and it comes in a box of lose ammo. A lot of the mail order internet ammunition stores have this ammo.

Go to Ammunitiontogo.com and look up .223 Centurion Military Contract ammo. It comes bulk packed in a 1000 round box and states it is clean reliable ammo made from a sub-contractor for the US military. They are selling it for $334 + shipping. I dunno, I think I might give this stuff a try and let ya'll know how well it goes.

It is made by a subcontractor that makes ammo for the Military, it doesnt say it is military ammo. It has had good reviews on AR-15

I went through 500 rounds today without a glitch from these rounds, even under rapid fire. They are also rather accurate. I was hitting a 12" steel plate at 300 yards using only iron sites. Great ammo and awesome price. I will be ordering thousands more.

I just purchased 500 yesterday, will note how they do when I shoot some. Hey, for the price, why not?

I just bought the same ammo at the Ft.Worth gunshow for $339 plus tax it is new ammo not reloaded and I think it was a good deal considering how much ammo has gone up the last couple years. I should get to try it out next weekend and will post some news on it.

If it is the stuff from Aim it is top notch. I am going to get a case or two to hold on to for a while.
