"Outstanding product. Highly recommend."
These can certainly be
"These can certainly be somewhat pricey compared to standard military ball ammo, but it at least can usually be found for less than the Black Hills manufactured Mk-262 rounds. Produces just bit more of a recoil impulse (though barely noticeable), but in exchange for that and the premium price you get a very accurate 5. 56mm round that supposedly makes an excellent defensive cartridge due to its impressive Terminal Ballistics (thankfully I haven't had the opportunity, and hopefully never will, to verify that effectiveness)."
