    .223 Remington UMC

    Anyone have experience shooting this through their AR-15 patterned rifle? How does it shoot?

    It shoots fine. As accurate as WWB as far as I can tell. I think this may have been a lucky day though.

    Please, calm down.

        Nothing less, but lets keep it on subject. I posted that to show him that the ammo has the capability to shoot very well.

        Thank you, BTW.
        Please, calm down.

                      Same with the Wally World I'm going to.. except that the computer says it's $4.44 when you ring it up! That comes out to $240 per 1000 out the door!Then again.. it's also the home of the $12 9mm 100rd Winchester white box and they have MANY cases of the stuff right now. Get some!

                      Duarte Wally World on Mountain I'm trusting y'all to leave a few boxes on the shelf for me!

                        One side question.... are these UMC brass good for reloading?

                        Most people love LC brass.... how about these UMC brass and/or Fed AE223 brass?

                            I haven't loaded any r-p brass yet but I think they're not crimped. I'll have to dig some out of storage to confirm. My american eagles are all LC's.
