I would say no. I have shot 750 rounds without incident, but I doubt I will buy anymore. Too much of a chance of getting really damaged rounds, plus I have had tracers mixed in. Not good if I am shooting in the summer time.

Not at that price. I bought a case of it last year for around $170 plus $15 or so shipping. That was the most I was willing to pay for it considering what I had read about it. It is necessary to run every round through a case gauge and inspect for misaligned bullets or bullets that were seated nearly sideways. I have culled a few that were downright dangerous, and I've got a box started for the okay-to-shoot-but-too-wobbly-for-accuracy rounds.
As I found out yesterday there are tracer bullets in the mix also, but without the nice red or orange paint to alert you of the fact. Luckily the ground was icy and wet or I would have had a little trouble. |

I'd stay away from it if I were you, I personally do not like sorting thru new ammo when I get it. Not to say that I don't inspect it, just hate to sort it and look for the neck pimples, rounds seated too far in, bad dented cases...etc.
I just bought 1k of some Q3131A at the local shop the other day for $200 out the door. Keep shopping, you'll find some better for the same or a tad bit more money. Unless........you really like stick pretzles  ETA: Always check this thread for ammo prices too  Ammo price list

Not for 200.00. I have not had any problems with this ammo but You have to inspect every round
carefully. For 200.00 a case there are a lot of other options

$170 per K at the local show this past weekend. That included tax. Not many takers. That might tell you something.

That stuff is crap, don't waste your money if you don't like squibs. Blackwater supposedly has a giant pile of it, it blew up a student's AR. I think DK-Prof had problems with it also. I still have about 500 rounds of it that I never used up because I found out it was junk.

The last case I bought had 6 rounds with bad case necks and I was lucky enough to have a squib mixed in for fun.

I do not have any access to locl 5.56. So I was thinking about some XM855 too for more blasting ammo. You guys say there are better choices for $200, what do you suggest? American Eagle?
(edit to add) Post number 556 <----
