Re: American Quality Ammunition? Any Good?

I bought some AQA 147 gr supers from Ventura Munitions and it was great. Not a single problem. $139 for 250. Also got some of their 5.56 that is excellent.

Re: Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC Issues? What is wrong with this pic

I bought my batches from bulkammo dot com (shipped from Knoxville, TN) and Ventura Munitions (Henderson, NV). Both were bad. I'm sure other stores got bad ones, too, and they're probably still floating around out there. Caveat Emptor.

Re: is Ventura Munitions ammo any good?

I haven't shot any of their 300 blk yet, but I've used both their reman and new 5.56, 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. It has been some of the most reliable and accurate bulk ammo that I've ever used. They did have one lot of under loaded 9mm reman about a year ago, but they replaced it all right away. ...

Re: Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC Issues? What is wrong with this pic

I was originally very interested in buying some of this stuff until the problems surfaced. Now with the Remington 120gr available at Wal-Mart and Academy, I think Fiocchi has missed the boat with me... Looks like the Remington 120's are having the same problem... http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/vie...

Re: Fiocchi 150 grn 300BLKC Issues? What is wrong with this pic

Over on AR15.com, there was a thread on this same issue. Somebody there said they heard from a guy named Troy at Fiocchi that they got a batch of bad/soft brass from their supplier and that was the reason the primers were popping out and the brass was looking overstressed. Personally, I think that's...

Re: Imagine if a Conservative said this

I'm not being literal at all. Even if one is willing to concede that "Asian" just means east Asia to all of the US, there's still a wide variation. There's a major difference between Thai, Korean, Chinese, Cambodian, etc. And I'm not just talking about the food.

LOL...Seriously? Can you point out the country of Asia? Or identify a singular ethnicity, culture or tradition that covers the Asian continent?

Re: Ozark Ordnance phone problems?

I only shot 10 of mine last weekend since I was mainly focused on testing my reloads and some of the questionable Fiocchi components I put back together, but all 10 of the O2 rounds fired and cycled fine in my 16", pistol length gas tube barrel. Bold locked back on empty, too. I didn't check ac...
