Excellent quality projectiles, lightning fast shipping Review by Ennbee15

Overall Rating

These projectiles are great. They look odd, I had to reset the bullet seater and crimp. But these bullets shoot very very well. I cooked up a recipe of imr 8208 xbr 23.4gr 2.2 oal out of a Spikes m4. Very accurate and high quality. They are spendy, but free and fast shipping make up for price. Once again Everglades you've done it again! (Posted on 3/30/13)

I ordered these bullets on 3/26/13 and I received them on the 3/29! I have not the chance to load them yet, but I will update after loading and evaluating them at the range. I will definitely order again from this company. (Posted on 3/30/13)

Ordered , Shipped , Loaded , and Fired , all w/ in a week ! Review by Jason

Overall Rating

Superb quality , Coast to Coast FL--> CA in 5 days !
Bullets appear to not be as aerodynamic as most store bought projectiles but they are ! Shooting out of a colt AR-15 1/7 twist @ 100 yds. produced decent results within 1 moa . Started with 22 grains IMR 8208 XBR and worked up .5 grain increments to 27 grain, in 5 round batches . Could not find any ballistic data for these bullets . 4/5 due to lack of data . Customer service / shipping 5/5 (Posted on 3/6/13)

Bulk 5.56 (223) bullets, great stuff Review by Ol Fat Dude

Overall Rating

I buy nothing else for my Colt M-16/AR15. 1in7 twist, 16" DPMS barrel, this rifle just loves them, never had such a great load. As soon as this Conneticut fiasco and Obama simmer down, I will buy more. (Posted on 3/1/13)

Great! Review by Kyle

RANGE REPORT:
I just visited the range with these I fired about 550 rounds of these with Lake city brass and 26.0 grains of H335 and I must say they performed great. I was hitting a 6"x6" target at 300 yards, not sub MOA or anything but I was hitting it. There were a few fliers. However, that could have been shooter error I was standing unsupported out of a Bushy 20" 1in9 RH twist bull barrel. I think the semi hollow rear contributes to a quicker expansion as well. I did some shooting of pumpkins and water melons at 15 yards. My factory Lake City 55gr and Wolf 55Gr would make a .22 cal hole out of both sides when I shot these however the entrance and exit was HUGE! and it was NOT keyholing because paper would have reflected that and it didn't.

GOOD BULLETS FOR THE PRICE Review by RUSSELL

Overall Rating

Recently purchased 1000 of these. Was little concerned about the hollow base mentioned in other reviews but it turns out the bullets worked great. Also I noticed the bullets had a blunter nose than other 55 g. 223's fmj's I have bought but that had no other effect either. Accuracy is good at 100 and 200 yards. Great for target shooting and plinking. Will buy again (Posted on 9/20/12)

great bullets for the price Review by cbrown

Overall Rating

These are not match bullets but they are pretty accurate and cycle well in my AR. Loaded them with Federal match primers and 27 grains of cfe223 powder. Put up 3/4 in groups at 100 yards with them in a Ruger no.1 v and 1 in my AR. Great bullet for the money and the fastest shipping on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!! (Posted on 8/25/12)

FAST! Review by Kyle

Overall Rating

I must say I'm impressed with their shipment time, I ordered another 500 on friday and I recieved them on monday. That's fast.

As far as the bullets go their definately worth the price, I've reloaded 700 alltogether, I have yet to shoot them, I'm not too worried I'm certain they'll do the job as plinksters. As someone else mentioned they are on the light side 54.0 - 54.6 in weight so I lowered the charged in my LC brass from 26.4 to 25.0 to lower pressures also for the slightly hollow rear. Again, i haven't shot these yet but as soon as I do I will put up a range report. (Posted on 8/21/12)

Good Review by Sue

Overall Rating

I bought 500 of these have loaded 300, have yet to shoot them, Only thing I was concerned with is the 54.0 - 54.6 weight range, I do max loads mostly with H335 max load is 26 I load 26.5 (most accurate for me) for 3200 - 3300 FPS so I don't know how a 54gr bullet will be affected by these with a semi hollow rear. They look good, measure in length and width great. The value is absolutely astounding. (Posted on 8/18/12)

Ordered 1,000 rounds on a Friday and they were in my mailbox (in Utah) on the following Wednesday. I thought I'd have more time to prime some brass! From the other reviews I'm looking forward to send these down range. (Posted on 8/11/12)

great price Review by matt

Overall Rating

I have been looking for quite a while and can not find a better price for these bullets. I did have to adjust my bullet seat die a little to get these bullets to load like the hornady bullets I used to use. Loaded a bunch and went to the range last weekend. Did not have a single problem. Hit a man sized target with every shot at 100 yards off hand. (Posted on 8/7/12)

Good product at a great price Review by RL

Overall Rating

I contacted you about the .224 standard bullets and mentioned that they had a hollow area at the back of the bullet. I was concerned about flaring when they would be shot. Well there is nothing wrong with them, my wife hit a 6" x 4" swinger at 200 meters 7 out of 10 shots. Shooting a 10" x 10" swinger at 300 meters was easy for me with those .224s...Thanks for a good product at a great price. (Posted on 7/29/12)

No problems Review by Karl

Overall Rating

Bought 1000 to try out and got them in 4 days! So far I have loaded 250 and shot about 100. No problems at all. I only shot out to about 100 yards but the accuracy seems fine. Thanks for the good service and good product! (Posted on 6/13/12)
