    Anyone ever use this stuff? I saw it in a SOG catalog. It's new production ammo, 230g copper-coated. I was thinking about picking some up and trying it out but wasn't sure if anyone else had already done this. Cost is 12.95/50 or 500rd for 125.00 Seems pretty good for practice ammo.:dunno:

    Let me know.

    I've never used this ammo but have had the misfortune of trying to reload the brass in 45ACP. It's terrible... inconsistent lengths and I had a case-head separation.

    Avoid A-MERC like the plague. High incidence of misfires and inconsisent bullet seating in the 9mm stuff I shot several years ago. Brass was so soft I had case necks splitting after one reloading.

    Amerc stuff is the pits
    I purchased 1000 rds 4 yrs ago had no problems with the exception it was DIRTY ammo
    Bought another 1000 rds the problems started
    I had primers falling out when My 1911 45 cycled
    I called them they said ship it back I said no way Im carrying 1000 rds to fed ex / ups
    She took my name and address I came home from work a week later and found another 250 rds on my front porch step
    and guess what the primers fell out of a lot of these rds also
    plus you cant get them to feed thru your reloader
