First off, please do not respond with "check the ammo review thread" as all it does is kick me back here.

Has anyone used this ammo lately?  I found a place locally that has it for $5.99 per 20.  This is a "good" price for local brass ammo.

I have about 700 left out of 1k.  Lot of rejects.  About 1 or 2 per 50 (damaged cases, cockeyed bullets, etc).  Shoots fine in my AR.  Got it back when it was like 120 per 1k.

i shot a boatload of 98' with no problems, but like stated above, i weed out a bad bullet almost every other box..... 99' was a bad year, lots of KB's... search the threads, alot of mixed reviews, but i havent had any problems with the 98's

I think the stuff I saw had an 04 headstamp.  Does that change anything?

I have shot 840 rounds of 99 Headstamp and it ran great.  I just shoot I dont look at the cases.  I am reloading some of the brass but most of it went to my cousin that needed brass to trade in to HSM for a Brass credit.  I didnt mind I had a good time shooting pop up targets.

Last May when I got my AR I bought 120 rounds of 04' Adcom. Shot it all with no trouble at all.
Last week a buddy was shooting 98' vintage thru an Eagle Arms AR and had 5 out of 10 rounds that blew the primer jamming the works. Gave up after the 10 and trashed the rest.

Very good looking ammo has black tar on bullet

But my 2 LMT M4`s cant group the ammo that well

but it aint for accuracy anyway

I've gone through 500rds of the 98 stuff and it never gave me any problems.

100% surefire and no problem with 98 ammo.  Runs great in my 6920.

On second look the ammo was marked 99 so I think I may take a pass.  Thanks for the replies.

5.99 I would uselly say I will take it but they would probally kill me on the shipping.

I dont know why my LMT`s dont care for it
