Large variations, but ok for plinkingReview by Phil S

Overall Rating

Like others have said, there is quite a lot of variance when it comes to the shape of the bullets. I "tried" to seat random samples to 2.800" for my 308 recipes, but it varies anywhere from 2.77" to 2.83" . This gives me about a 4 inch group at 100 yards, which isn't horrible I suppose, but if you're looking for better accuracy you are best adding in the extra 20$ for the higher quality bullets. Otherwise, they're ok for plinking and maybe even SHTF last ditch ammo. I will do like the other reviewers and sort the bullets out first before seating. (Posted on 11/5/2019)

Ok Review by Reg

Overall Rating

4 stars price good best groups @100 shooting blackout 1.3” and I think I got lucky. Those results had 18.8 cfe min charge seated 2.235. All rounds seated at 2.235 19.3 close to 2” 19.8 went back down to 1.5....... 19.8 opened up too 2.3 and 20.5 was creeping towards 4”. I think I’ll stick with these I just can’t find anything performing like this at the same price point. (Posted on 4/5/2019)

Ok for plinkingReview by Greg

Overall Rating

They are ok for plinking, but length has a lot of deviation and cannelure position is all over the place. Made it a little tougher to load. Will pay the extra few dollars for first run next time.
Would buy again in a pinch. (Posted on 2/7/2019)

Not the best selection and terrible length differences.Review by 44MagAddict

Overall Rating

I had to sort these 500 bullets by length due to there being 6 different sizes varying by .080"... Played hell with seating depth of the bullets and took 3-4X longer having to sort and load and watch length very closely while loading. even when sorted, I had to pull out about 5% due to wrong seating depth with sorted lots.

Save your frustration and spend the extra $4/100 and don't get seconds. (Posted on 2/1/2019)

Good to goReview by Dixie

Overall Rating

Loaded 250 of these over 47g of IMR495 for my M1 Garand. Gave 4-5 MOA. Great for a cheap plinking round. Just ordered 1000 more. (Posted on 12/16/2018)

Great bullet at an amazing priceReview by Starky

Overall Rating

I ordered 250 of these to try in .300 BLK. I was so happy I ordered 1000 more. A great plinking bullet. The company is super easy to work with and shipping is top notch. Love doing business with these guys. (Posted on 12/6/2018)

Great deal for the price!Review by Ted

Overall Rating

I ordered 100 of these bullets for trial and 500 of the first grade for comparison. The weight variations are identical to the first grade bullets with a spread of 147.0 to 148.0. Dimensions were identical to the first grade bullets..The only defect (if you want to call it that) is the base of the bullets are not consistent. The lead core is flush with the bottom of the jacket on some bullets and recessed on others. The outside of the jackets were all perfect. I use them to punch paper and ring gongs at 200 yards from my M1A and I'm sure the targets don't mind these slight imperfections. I hope they are available next time I order because I will definitely be ordering more.

You guys are also great to work with. Fast shipping and no complaints about product quality. I have been shopping with you for several years and will continue to do so.

Clean FMJReview by Yeti

Overall Rating

Reloaded into once fired federal brass, 43 grains of benchmark chrono at 2843 avg. 2" groups at 300 yards. Granted this by no means a match bullet but still impressive from my ar-10. Thanks again Everglades for providing a solid product!!!! (Posted on 8/15/2018)

Supremely happyReview by Thomas

Overall Rating

These bullets are an amazing value. I received 250 of them today (first time order from this site) and if this is any indicator of what passes for a 2nd, believe me when I say I will definitely be back for more. I pulled a heavy handful of these out of the package and of probably about 2 dozen, I only found 1 with a jacket blemish and it was below the cannelure so still pretty on the complete cartridge. I loaded a few up in various charge weights for 300BO plinking rounds and couldn’t be happier with them. (Posted on 7/26/2018)
