.223Ball(slightly dented)from southernammo.com It says it will chamber but will I want to?  Anyone have experience with this ammo in an AR?  I'm curious because at 83.00 per thousand it would make good blasting ammo.

Well its considerably better than BARNAUL.

I have heard that some people have had trouble with autoloaders using the .308 they sell, but none at all about .223.

I had one misfire yesterday on a IMI made 1990 vintage round.  But all my 1970s vintage Winchester fired just fine and all but that one of the israeli

Why spend $800+ on a nice weapon, and then put crap ammo through it? I wouldn't put slightly watered gas in my car, and I wouldn't eat "mostly" fit for human consumption food. But then again, I eat MREs so maybe I'm a liar on that one.

I haven't tried their 223 but I bought some of the tarnished 308, which I would call very slightly tarnished. I have fired it in 2 different M1A's with no problems at all & very accurate. I've also read alot of other people's posts saying that they liked it as well as I do. I would buy more if I had the extra $$$

Go to the ammunition forum and either do a search or scroll back through the last 30 days for reviews and comments of this stuff.

I have fired 1000 rounds of their tarnished 223 and only one round didn't fire.  I ejected it and never saw it again.  all others fired perfectly.

What is the bullet weight? Boxer or Berdan? How old? Country of origin?  People want to know.....for the children.
