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

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! Have a link to where you purchased it? |

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

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 ! |

900 rounds, crated 30 cal. cans. A little crusty outside, goodness inside. The crate arrived intact, I opened it to inspect. Would buy again in this format.

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 |

In any case, when I was going through my ammo stash last weekend I realized I bought 300 rounds of this stuff from AIM a few years back. Different lot/year, the 300 rounds I found being from 1982. I brought a box of 40 to the range with me today and shot it though my LRB M14 clone. Honestly I was surprised...it's pretty damn accurate. Target below was shot from 100 yards, using irons on a sandbag. In no way do I even consider myself anything close to a "rifleman" these days...diminished eyesight and not enough range time has seen to that, so I consider this to be pretty good. The hole in the 9 ring I'm calling a flyer...got distracted by the guy at the bench next to me.

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 |

From my PSA PA10 GenII w/ Criterion barrel and even with the OEM barrel , the Malaysian .30 Cal canned ball shoots FAR better then the ZQI.
All groups at 100yds, benched, scoped, bagged front and rear. fairly brisk firing rate, not blasting ... but not slow and methodical. Criterion barrel.... Malaysian Ball.... 
Malaysian ball again.. 
Criterion barrel ZQI.... 
From the Nitrated OEM PSA barrel...I didn't have the Malaysian at this time. ZQI 
And from the PSA OEM SS barrel..... Malaysian Ball... 20rds rapid fire... 
ZQI... I gave up after 5rds based on its prior poor accuracy. 
Sanitized DAG from SGAmmo... shoots very well for me. In all 3 barrels. It is fugly... with corrosion on the cases and berdan primed as well. 20rds rapid fire.

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. |
