Thanks for posting the lot list and results. I bought 10K of the Korean stuff when AIM had it on sale and haven't had any problems with the stuff I've used so far, which was lot 147.  I found one can of the 152 lot. Is the 152 unsafe in any weapon or just in semi autos?


When in doubt, empty the magazine!

Not to be an indian giver...but what's the source for the data?

Thanks,

PS 2-177  I only got two boxes, but this lot seemed to be very consistent.  No signs of pressure, cases ejected clean and bright, accuracy was at least better (maybe much better!) than my marksmanship skills.
