I've shot a lot of their 55 gr stuff out of various lengths 1:7 both in semi and full auto. Never really had a problem. The 55 gr. stuff isn't really accurate but the 62 is okayish. Like an other maker, there are the occasional turd rounds but not in any quantity to raise an alarm. It's not like Freedom Munitions blowing up guns

It goes bang everytime.... but from my rifles it is only so-so accurate.
I prefer accuracy over "least expensive"... in other words for slightly more money I can get better accuracy from other bulk ammo. |

Haven't shot any of their 556, but I've had good luck with their 300.

Quoted:
MagTech Ammunition Magtech CBC 5.56mm NATO M193 62 Grain Full Metal Jacket any good. Shooting 16 inch 1 and 9 twist and 20 inch 1 and 7 twist Is it M193 or 62 grain? M193-spec ammo is 55 gr. M855/SS109 is 62 gr (with penetrator). Then there's plain old lead core 62 gr offered by many companies. Are you talking about the surplus M193 that is selling currently? Or their regular commercially-loaded ammo? Not that I could give you a review in any case (haven't shot any of the surplus M193 yet), but just seeking clarity for those who might be able to help you.

I haven't been able to find anything under $0.50 around that's any higher than a 62 grain bullet if you know of some I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know where they are at thanks

What is your purpose with heavier bullets? The Speer Gold Dot 64 gr is great anti-personnel ammo and had been coming up pretty regularly at Palmetto State Armory for $9.99 per box of 20 (with free shipping for 10 or more boxes). If you are looking at heavier still, the IMI 77 gr "Razorcore" can be had around 75-80 cents per round, but is really a longer-range type load. CBC/Magtech 77 gr has good reviews and is around 50-60 cents when available.
But it all comes back to, "What do you want the ammo to do?" Rob |

Thanks for all your info The ammo is very accurate in almost all of my 1:7 rifles, which is on par with BH 77gr OTM, and IME better than BH 77gr TMK and IMI RazorCore. They can be had for $0.60/rd, which is the cheapest factory 77gr OTM anywhere. At 100 yards, Consistent 0.8 MOA 10rd group using my SR15 LPR Krieger SS 18" barrel Consistent 1.25 MOA 10rd group using my SR15 Mod1 'LW' CHF CL 16" barrel At 300 yards, the group size is 1.25-1.33MOA and 1.5-1.75MOA |
