They are made by a company called american eagle they were the cheapest thing i could afford Wait before you shoot them and I suggest you change the title to reflect "american eagle". There's something wrong with an "american something" ammo. I can't remember what it is. The logic of buying a $3K rifle and then feeding it with the absolute cheapest shit available is beyond be. Quality gun, buy quality ammo or start reloading. Nothing wrong with the bullet weight, there's just some American xxxbrand ammo that has a bad rep for safety/consistency. Someone else will post about it. -David Edgewood, NM |

American Eagle is Federal Lake City. http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/product_info.php/products_id/2883 This is 50 BMG Federal American Eagle 660gr XM33C Full Metal Jacket Ammo. This ammo is made to US Military Spec by Lake City. This ammo is made with Lake City Brass and is boxer primed. This ammo comes 10rds to a box with 100rds in a case.

Well, if it's Federal factory, i'm sure it's ok. I've never heard of that ammo and never seen any before so I can't comment on past performance but if it's made by Federal, a subsidiary of the primary US ammo contractor (ATK) it's probably excellent stuff.
There was some "American XXX" stuff floating around for a while that was bad stuff and I hoped Keith P would hop on here and comment about it. I wouldn't think twice about shooting anything made by ATK. Just shoot it. THANKS FOR THE LINK! -David Edgewood, NM |

Eagle .50 stuff is good to go. Haven't sampled it personally yet. |

Glad to hear they're loading ammo for civilians now. ATK/Federal hasn't built civilian ammo until very recently, I suppose. They've been a primary primer supplier for years (the only one commonly available now) but I hear they're also going to produce a 50 BMG powder this year under the Alliant brand. Heard it was called Reloder 50 but don't hold me to it. Be good to have another temperature constant powder available other than H50BMG. -David Edgewood, NM |
