Is zqi 7.62 x 51 ammo any good?

Yep! And inexpensive.

Great blasting .308, I bought some from AIM Surplus when they had the Black Friday deal. I plan on taking a carbine course running .308 just to abuse myself .

Running a carbine course with .308? Are you 6'6" and 300 lbs?

I'm not saying that .308 kicks bad, but a carbine course? You're a better man than I am.

I shoot a bunch of it out of my Cetme and it works great. I don't feel like tearing up my good .308 reloading brass, so this is a good alternative.

Good blasting ammo, just don't expect sub-moa groups with it.

I bought 1500 rounds of it when Walmart had it on clearance for $9.99 per 20 and thought it was a steal.

Now it is even cheaper.

More like 6'1" 200
It's all about technique. Anyone that shoots a lot of courses or 3 gun can back me up on that.

My Savage target rifle doesn't like it - bullets are too light to stabilize right - but it was enough to get on paper at 25yd and switch to the good stuff for true zero at distance.

As good as any surplus, only fresh ammo. Boxer primed, cheep brass to reload.
Cheapest new ammo you can buy in 7.62x51.

I'll be sure to come by and give you a nice pat on the shoulder the next day to see how well that technique of yours is coming along.

My match rifle that shoots ~1 MOA had its groups open up to about 3/3.5 MOA with ZQI.

Other than that, it is clean and reliable.

What about 5.56 and 9mm?

The 5.56 is good stuff. M855/SS109 equivalent.

Yeah, I was grabbing a couple of boxes every payday until Wally World quit selling it.

You can still buy it direct from ZQI for like .33 cpr.

My AR loves the stuff.
