Greek ammo?

[Mr.Smith]

www.ammunitionstore.com had a can of greek 5.56mm 800 rounds ina resealable tin for 139$ and they say its "SS109" anyone try this stuff out? Is it any good?

[oclvtrek]

It's good stuff! A little dirty but otherwise is great ammo. However, I'd only shoot this stuff at an outdoor range ;)

If it's manufactured by Olympic, I wouldn't advise it...
I purchased 350rnds of Olympic ss109's and 55-60 didn't pass
on my .223 cartridge gage....now I'm left w/ pulling the bullets
and resizing the brass. just my $.02

I've heard too many complaints about Olympic to advise anyone to purchase it. Even if you bought a small amount and it was fine, there's no way of telling if the next batch would work in your rifle.

IMHO the small amount of money saved over other brands just isn't worth the heartache.

I was real nervous when I purchased some "NATO surplus" and found out it was Olympic. I never shot it before but read a lot of horror stories. Today I fired 420 rounds of it through my Bushmaster M-4 and had absolutley no problems.

I am still nervous about the other 580 rounds. Maybe I got a good batch, I don't know. The remaining rounds will probably go through my Saiga and my SAR-3.

I guess I am trying to say that although I have not had one problem thus far with the Greek ammo, I would be hesitant to purchase more, just because there seem to be more bad reports than good.
