NATEC .223 Ammo anyone try it?

hughes1

I was curious if anyone here has used that NATEC .223 ammo, it uses a polymer case instead of brass (the base is brass, the rest is polymer). It is a bit cheaper than anything else out there. Also, if that doesn't pan out, can someone recommend a cheap source for .223 ammo? The best I can find is $200+ for 1000 rnds. PS I will not use the steel case stuff, so please don't cry WOLF!

Avoid NATEC.
Bullets loose in necks in about 3/1000.
On extraction, brass separates from polymer and jams bolt or the polymer lodges in chamber.
Get Guatemalan 5.56 from AIM Surplus.

Thank you for the heads-up on the NATEC, I put in an order with AIM for the ammo you suggested. Cheers

Does the word "Dillon" suggest anything to you? Roll your own, get better ammo and pay less.
