Well, I found it pretty accurate in my A2 1:9 Hbar. It's hot loaded, and the groupsize was about two times smaller than Prvi Partizan and Igman M193 I tested the same day. Very clean also.

It's good ammo..probably on par with M855, as mentioned, shoots kinda hot.

Sgt. Gold...no worries, stuff happens.
