Bought 100 rounds of this for a three gun. It groups amazingly. I could keep all shots on an IPSC target at 5 yards with this load. (Thats a joke) I was trying it out for the first time just to see what I thought. No problems, but, 100 rounds isn't enough to decide if its reliable. I know that there were problems when this stuff first came out. Have these problems been all ironed out? Great idea, anyone know how this stuff is doing now compared to the first runs? Do you trust it? (I have already read all the old posts on this, I want to know if things have changed) |

Convert, It's been awhile and I am still shooting up the first lot that I had purchased. In the process of running this stuff I have found a trend in failures. All of which seem to happen in rifles with a less than perfectly clean chamber as the result of running other ammo first. Have run 500 rounds straight of the Natec without a hitch. Also have run the NATEC after 100 rounds of LC. and had necks collapse in several different platforms. This is a good concept if they get the bugs ironed out. Accuracy is first rate, and that alone has my attention!!! I just can't get past the reliability issues illustrated by the first lot I have shot so much of!! If you have problems, let NATEC know quickly. They cannot adjust if they do not know. Best of luck! S-28 |

I've put 60 rounds of this stuff through my Bushmaster carbine. It functioned flawlessly and provided good accuracy. However, after closer inspection of the spent cases, I found two pierced primers. The rifle is somewhat new but has digested about 500 rounds of LC and WCC without any problems. |

OK Where is the best place to get this stuff? Looks interesting. Edited to add Natec Website - www.natec-us.com |
