The little Olympic ammo that I have shot has performed reasonably well.

The Ammunition Review & Reference is tacked at the top of this board, if you take the time to look at it you will see that Olympic ammo has the poorest rating of all the ammo brands listed, when almost 52% of the people who have actually used it...say they won't buy it again...that's a pretty good indication of a ammo to avoid!

Will not use Olympic (Greek) ammo again. Had too many pierced/ruptured primers when shooting .223 55g fmj.

I've heard a lot of bad things about it, but if you want it, the Gander Mountains in PA, (at least the one in Harrisbug and Scranton) have it for $89 per thousand.

I bought thousand rounds last December from Miwall. I'm never ever going to buy Olympic again. About 1 out of 10 rounds fails to fire on first primer strike. The primers of the one that didn't go off are 1 to 2 thousandths too deep. All of the primers were crimped, so I know they didn't move when struck. Junk, pure junk.

Don't buy anything with Olympic in the name when you're in the AR realm!

Amen brother! If it's any consolation I do have a complete Colt upper and a Bushmaster upper with no barrel.

Who knows? Each one is a unique creation! It's not about a loyalty to any other brand. Rather, years of reading about OLY's junk as well as seeing some of their crap first hand has convinced me that they suck ass. We mustn't highjack this thread with the long list of QA disasters from the idiots over at OLY however. The point is Olympic Rifles and Ammo both are third rate crap! Don't waste your money, Honey! |

To each there own. I've had an SGW Olympic since 1984 and it has given me NO problems at all! As far as olympic ammo,the only time i've used any I put 2,000 rds of there ss109 through a belt gun at Knob creek. That being said I would not buy any Olympic ammo. To many horror storys to spend my money on it.

Thanks for the advice, Sweety!  j/k I heard all the horror stories about Oly lowers, but I got such a deal on this one that I HAD to buy it. Now about Olympic ammo. I bought it because it was dirt cheap. I haven't shot a great deal of the stuff, but the little I have shot functioned just fine for me, but I seem to have just gotten lucky. |

Dig it. Not every Oly lower is a disaster. But that's the problem. You don't know what you have tell you put it together. Also, that low class Prick from Olympic that used to post here was unbearable. |
