The ZQ1 I ran through my 308AR was flawless. I really liked it, but for those who reload, it does have well crimped in primers....something to keep in mind for those who reload.....

And there hasn't been any seen in my local Wallyworld for a while either.....and now that I think about it, around 2 months.

The one store I was at today had 6-8 boxes of it

I've never had an issue with Selway Armory.

Yes, used to that. Lake City m80 brass comes that way; RCBS makes the cure: a swaging set that smooths everything out.

Just making sure anyone who does this understood that ZQ1 is made to nato specs. There was a very interesting write up in an issue of Firearms News a while back, and their ammo manufacturing process is ahead of many in the US.

They claim NATO spec, they do not meet the standard needed to put the NATO cross on it or they would. I noticed a substantial change in accuracy/consistency with it a bit over a year ago. Some chrono info would be interesting, I've shot it right along side some NATO head stamped M80 and had a 5-6 inch change in POI at 100 yards, much more than I've seen between the official head stamped varieties I have.

Still good plinking ammo for the price though.

Mrmackc's Hacksaw Tribe definition of "plinking": Shooting up ammo to hear noise and feel the thunder!

Let me rephrase that. If they are down to 3 boxes of something, you better be quick on the trigger. :(

It's been here and there around me few places that once had it don't now. Same with the perfecta they had too

Checked the Selwayarmory, loses its appeal after the $31 for shipping!

Damn for that you better get a BJ on delivery

jtallen83 · April 2, 2016

$24 shipping on 640 rounds direct from MKE.

82HALO · April 2, 2016

That's a little better, but I'm spoiled with free shipping from Sportsmans guide when they have it! Bought a case of m118 and a ammo can of m855 from them last week with no shipping charge and split the payment into 4!

Will still check wallyworld from time to time.

I hate that when you check online and have to buy something else.

392heminut · April 4, 2016

Okay, you bozos got me all paranoid that this stuff was getting hard to find so I went and bought another 5 boxes while I was at Wal-Mart today. Still another 15 to 20 boxes on the shelf after I got mine!

Tripledeuce · April 4, 2016

The ZQ! dosen't shoot worth S$it , either through my wifes Preditor, or hrt 700 chassie gun.

Both guns shoot anything 162-168 into a half inch.

82HALO · April 5, 2016

Yep, pretty much know that goin in! Just looking for cheap stuff to plink and have fun with!

Have the expensive good stuff for serious shooting!

I have had really good luck with Selway, find that some of their really good prices makes up for no free shipping. Sportsman's guide tends to be a bit pricier to make up for free shipping, although I like them a lot. I have got some HSM 168gr BTHP molybendium coated 7.62 ammo from Selway a couple of years ago for just $16.99 / 20 that is still the most accurate factory load I have found.

82HALO · April 6, 2016

Only buy from sportsman's when it is on sale and get free shipping and use coupons they send me. And get member price! Works out great for me, just picked up a Pelican 1750 with double discount and free shipping $175 delivered!
