Has anyone shot the Greek M193 that Sportsman's Guide is selling for $140/1000?

There's a sticky at the top of this forum about Olympic .223:

Also, this topic is brought up weekly, it seems.  I'd suggest scorlling back a couple-three pages in this Ammo board and look for "Olympic", such as these posts:

That should be enough.  The short answer is that I am still staying away from it.

That's why you're here with the rest of us, bro.  It's educational; ask away.

Welcome aboard.

Roger that on that Greek Skata, which in their lexicon, means shit!

Had to send back two 1,000-rd cases of that stuff after a 10% failure rate on one box. I got beat on the postage, but at least it wasn't a total loss. Can't believe that some of the major players like Sportsman's Guide, J&G and AmmoMan are still selling that stuff, especially with many folks sending it back on a regular basis and all of the bad PR. Olympic has got some serious spin doctoring to do on this before anyone trusts them again.
