Tried some today through my M1A, was really impressed with the accuracy. Best group of the day was 1" 5 shot group at 100 yards. All other groups were well under 2". Rifle is 1991 standard M1A, Winchester barrel, Sage EBR stock, SWFA 10X SS scope with LaRue mount. Shot off the Harris bipod with just the stock bagged up. Function and feed was 100%. I don't know how hot this stuff is but shoots REALLY nice for surplus stuff. I plan on getting more.

Yup, the DAG is good stuff, at least the more recent batches, there were some older ones that were not very good (stored wrong, looked corroded etc)

I got some of the moldy stuff.
Works great in the G3.

I need to score some shiny stuff for my M1A.

Yup it's good stuff. Supposedly it has some pretty impressive terminal effects when compared to M-80 ball as well. The krauts figured out how to make it tumble and fragment really well. I'm going to try some out on some feral hogs with my FAL if I can catch them out in the daytime.
