I've seen the reviews, and so i suppose it is better than Olympic or Wolf, and close to M193 in performance.  Is 3.99/20 rnds a good/decent deal on this? no shipping costs, as its in a store near me.

I have the "dreaded" 1999 headstamp and it works fine for me.

Others won't touch it (the 99 HS); still others won't touch it at all.

Others like me have had no problems.

At $199/1000 with no shipping, buy a couple boxes and try it out.

just my .02

I got 3 or 4 hundred rds. a while back.  I've only shot a couple of boxes.  I had some blown primers on some of it.  I have the stuff with 98 head stamp.  It's ok I guess but I've not used enough of it to tell for sure.

I have used several hundred rounds of 04 lot and had zero issues. $20 a hundred is the rate i was paying as well. It was reasonably accurate.

I have a few thousand rounds of 04',98' and 99' and paid something pretty similar though I think it was something like 3-3.50 a box before shipping but this was a while back. Some was from when AIM had it, other is SG and I believe I got the 99' at a gun show. Zero problems so far even with the 99' stuff though some folks won't use it at all in case of KB but any ammo has a chance of doing that so what the hell. Wasn't super accurate but for plinking ok

i have shoot over 1000 rounds of the old stuff too (1998 and 99) and none of my barrels from bushy, LMT, POF piston barrel, RRA stainless wilson,  and 2 WOA barrels have no problems.

the only barrel that didnt like it was a LW piston upper with a 16" barrel but it had a out of spec chamber and LW changed that right out. the cases would stick in the chamber along with 2 other types of ammo in that particular barrel.

i should add its accuracy is slightly better than others i have (q3131-not A, guat, south african)
