I bought some brass cased Monarch .223 for $7.99 a box at Academy to try out, has anyone here used this ammo?

I like it, supposedly it is made by Prvi.

It's good stuff.  And it tends to sell out quick when it's on sale.

I've not had any issues with it (Brass case).... good stuff!

I always pick up a hundred rounds or so every time I'm near or in an academy and throw it in the training/range ammo box....

From my experience it's about 1.5 moa ammo.  Barrel independent of course.  Last time I Chrono'd some it averaged about 3100 fps from a 20 inch barrel.   By comparison the same range session the Steel Monarch clocked around 3150.   The Brass is good.

I also like the steel case.  Cheap and seems to shoot a little warm for 223 unlike Tula or Wolf steel which seems underpowered in comparison.  My go to cheap steel ammo, readily available at my local Academy when I need it.  I always grab a handful of boxes when I stop by.  $10-20 a pop keeps my ammo supply up without the wife noticing a large multi hundred dollar purchase of ammo :)

I just ran 200 rounds of the steel cased and 60 rounds of the brass cased Monarch through my midlength today. Not a single issue.
