Has anyone tried this stuff? It's brass cased, berdan primed and comes packed in 200 round, clear PVC battlepacks. I wanted to get some opinions before buying.

I have 2800 rounds and it is too pretty to shoot. I guess I am a hoarder.

I have some and have done some informal testing with it. My rifle is an SA93. I have a side rail scope mount on it and have a Russian PSO 4 scope on QD mount.

The SA ammo was no more accurate at 100 yds than the Russian hollowpoint. (about 3-4 inches with the occasional 1" cluster) I was somewhat surprised. I got the most consistant accuracy from surplus German ball ammo (non corrosive) Consistant 1-2" groups at 100 yds..

It does feed and fire reliably though.

I'll second that. It looks great, but its no more accurate than the Russian hollowpoint. If you want to improve accuracy with ammo, try some Winchester. It gave me my first 2 inch 10 shot group with my old NHM-91 with a 4x scope.
