This stuff is back in the country. I tested it out today in my M60E6 and M1A1, and it is hotter than IMI and Lake City, relatively clean, has beautiful looking brass, and is non corrosive. I just ordered 20 more cans because the price is hard to beat. Has anyone else been using this stuff right now or in the past? What are your thoughts? Enjoy!
Sorry needed to add it available at aim and SG. Very very good stuff. |

Forgot to mention. It has a lead core. The only drawback is that while it is non corrosive, it is berdan primed.

"It has a lead core." If it had a steel core it'd be unimportable.

Who cares what the brass looks like if you can't reuse it anyway?
|
|
If it's anything like the older Malay stuff, it's dang good stuff.

Midway USA has it for like 44 cents per round. Or 46. Something like that. Although that's without shipping. Seemed like a good deal if it's good ammo.

How is the Bolt action or say Springfield M1 accuracy ?
Is this really the "good stuff" down range, bi-metal jacket and all ? Dirty ?? Thank you ! |

Ordered some this morning. Going to shoot a little through the SCAR and lay the rest up. Should be good shooting.

I have a bunch of Radway Green for my FALs. May get some of this also. The price is tempting at 38 cents per round from AIM.
|

To me in Washington State, AIM shipping was $40 for the can of 540 while SG Ammo was only $22 (and I added a few boxes of 9mm 124 +P HST to the order without a shipping increase).
Technical content: my neighbor has some Malaysian 7.62 from a previous import and said that he found it to have hard-ish primers. His AR10 and bolt rifles wouldn't set it off reliably, but his FAL worked great. YMMV, etc. Rob |

My local chinamart has ZQI randomly in stock at 7.50 a box. No reason not to stick with that.
|

The stuff that came in my. 50 Cal can looks brand new. It looks like a manufacture date of 1984.
|
|
Wow, this stuff really seems good... at least in that LRB M14 rifle.
At the current price point, I wouldn't be mad if it does 3 MOA out of my JRA BM59 or my FMAP FAL |

The funny thing is that it shoots under 1" at 100 yards out of my dad's NM M1A. But we mainly use it for blasting ammo :D View Quote |

BS Have someone document a 10 shot group, if under 1 moa I will send you 1k View Quote He has nothing to gain by talking up ZQI , Lol I have seen ZQI shoot far better then my PA10 groups.... that is why I wonder if the neck sealant is hardened up and needs to be broke loose. |

I get the same results, ZQI is junk View Quote ETA I did pick up a couple of cases of Malaysian but I have not shot any of it yet.. |

has anyone tried the South Korean .308? It looks pretty good - and boxer primed...

I've chrono'd their PMC bronze line and their 7.62 NATO line, not sure what the "surplus" can stuff is.. View Quote |

If I get a chance to grab some I can test it, but if there aren't any small lots it's hard for me to get ahold of

Wish I had deep pockets to order " 20 cans". I will go be poor somewhere else

I zeroed a PA 1-6 ACSS on my Armalite using some Malaysian M80. I zeroed the scope at 200 yards on a 5 inch steel plate. I was pleasantly surprised to see 5 rounds cloverleafed through the scope. I didn't have time to run down and actually look at the target because I had to go over to the next bay and teach. Overall I'm pretty damn impressed with this and probably will buy more.

Bought 1080 from SGA. Went with the 540/50 cal can since a review up further said the 30 cal boxes were in fairly bad shape.
The 50 cal cans look nearly new. Had to use a mallet to get lid open (only opened one) as the gasket was stuck (but gasket looked intact/functional once I had it open). The boxes inside pristine and the brass in the box I opened has no tarnish etc. Summary, haven't shot it but it looks good to go. |

Just out of curiosity, did you go with the 540 or 300 round can? I would be shooting an Armalite as well, 16 and 18 inch. Thanks in advance. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Got 540 can from midway. Pretty clean. Said 2-84 on the side and was well sealed. Shoots fine so far.

Ordered a 540 round can for $209 delivered. I need more 7.62 surplus ball like a hole in the head but hard to pass up for .39 cents a round.
