- You people are a bunch of (Fackler worshippers/idiots/jello fans/armchair theorists/mindless fools). How in the world can you expect me to believe (insert Ammo Oracle answer here)? You have all lost touch with the working man shooter with your lofty theories and ivory tower "science." I know for a fact that my super special homemade round will tear up badguys because it tears up potroast like there is no tomorrow. Why should I believe anything on here?
- None of this answers my question. Now what?

Why should I test new-production ammo? It should work, shouldn't it?

Introduction

It should work fine and it usually will, but any company can (and has) put out bad batches of ammo. Plus, some rifles are marginal and you may find that some ammo isn't reliable in your rifle. Always test your ammo before committing it to storage or duty use.

FACTS:

Testing and reporting results is a great way to contribute to the community. Good range reports help us all spot good and bad ammo.
