Problem though. They don't ship to Alabama, Tennessee, or Georgia. Since I live in Alabama, that's a BIG problem.

Luckily, I reload!

Cripes, even when I lived in Obamaland Illinois, I could get ammo mailed to me.

Of course I didn't live in the People's Republic Of Chicago.

Tempting. If someone orders 250 I would like to do a swap for testing.

On the time sched to move to VA....

The going rate in NY is about $10 per K.... not alot, but mail order bullets have to go to a FFL since the last law.

It depends on how you look at it.
I can get Star Line brass ( the best ) for .20
Primers for four cents
bullets for nine cents
Powder is 1 cent for economical loads or up to four cents for hot loads

So for the price of this ammo I can have reloads comparable to Underwood and have Star line brass leftovers

So I would say this is a really great deal for the non-reloader.

I'm into powder/polymer coated bullets so I don't lead up my barrels. Dang, with the Nickel plated brass it looks like Detroit Lions fans ammo.

  Some of these are headed my way. We will see what the quality, brass, powder, velocity, etc... is soon.

I just finished off my 250 rounds of American Quality Ammo in 10mm. The accuracy was good and it was reliable. AQ uses Star Line brass that looks new. The only thing I didn't like about the ammo is that the powder burns dirty. Other than that I think it is a very good range round at a good price.

    Armscor brass and looks really decent. I bet it's BVAC/Armscor  ;D

I saw that at Cabelas the last time I was there.

Are you going to run it over the chrono?
Title: Re: American Quality Ammo Cheaper Than Dirt?
Post by: Intercooler on July 24 2014 07:26:38 PM MDT
Yup. Hopefully next week one day... houses are keeping me swamped!

That's pretty anemic. I'm glad I didn't buy it when I had the chance at Cabelas.

Did you ever test the Remington load, or was that only David?

Many times over. It's on the sheet and loaded pretty decent.
