There was a bad lot of it years ago, but the 10k I've been working on has all been great.
The brass is softer than others and the case necks are a little thicker. The price is right....it went for about $147/K seven years ago if I remember correctly. I'd buy it if I came across it, just haven't seen it in a few years. By the way....it doesn't compare to Port.......Port is much better although its berdan primed, but CAVIM is still good ammo. |

I had a bad experience with CAVIM in my HK91 about ten years ago. Black tarry residue gummed up the chamber and it caused the only malfunction I ever had with that rifle(FTEx) I don't use it any more. I don't know what kind of llama poo they use for powder, but, what a fookin mess.

The only knock against this ammo was the coating that caused with HK 91 style rifles as it'd gum up the chambers I believe it was.

I have fired a couple hundred rounds of it in my M1-A. Functioned just fine, but not the most accurate ammo I have shot.

I'll agree with that, but its not the worst I've used either. I've used it in a Savage bolt gun and an M1A and consistantly hit the bottom end of a Tannerite bottle at 100yds. For the money, it was/is good shooting ammo. I just shot 500rds of it the other day and was picking off clays with a 1919 at 100 yds. |
