Is this any good (rang ammo)?

Have read some horror stories, what say the hive?

I'be been happy with several cases of their .223.

I've got a ton from 2A warehouse. Shoots fine. Definitely not match ammo though.

I've never heard anything bad about Igman ammunition. I'd rank them in my top five brands without hesitation.

I read it on reddit, not always the best source.  Thanks

I have had zero issues with Igman 9 mm, 7.62x39 and .223/5.56. I am happy they are around for good ball ammo. I find them to be clean and consistent.

Igman is good stuff. I haven't tried their 7.62×39 ammo, but the 5.56 ammo is fine for training. My ARs all like it, and one of my friends at work says Igman runs great in his Type 56.

I’ve shot 500 rounds of the 7.62x39, it’s good to go.

Perfectly fine ammo.

Igman is good ammo. Igman and PPU were the two former factories producing ammunition in former Yugoslavia. I shot Igman 80s production m67 ammo and it worked great. From what I observed, Igman m67 had purple or pink primer sealant while ppu used red or orange sealant. On another note about Igman, I bought couple of cases of Igman 55 grain fmj .223 last year and the shooting performance was like any other fine brass case 223. I will say the appearance of the brass was much better than lake city winchester. I trust Igman over Turkish ammo.

Yeah, it's pretty good stuff.  
In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to withdraw from reality, taking recourse in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.

I just ran 20 rounds of 8x57 Igman through a Mauser sporter and experienced a 60% rate of cracked case necks. I’ve never had that bad a problem with split necks even with WWII surplus ammo. 20 rounds of S&B had zero problems.

Shooting Igman .223 was just fine. No issues. I was shooting through various AR15s and a full auto Lage MAX-11/15.

As a reloader, I don’t plan to buy any more. The primer flash holes are undersized to the point that a standard decapping pin won’t fit through them.

I bought an undersized decapping pin and it lasted a few hundred cases before getting bent and unusable.
