Herter's Ammo from Cabela's

Food for thought. for $100 you can replace the entire bolt carrier group in an AR. How many rounds will you need to shoot assuming that the steel case ammo wares parts out faster? Thousands... now, How much money will you save by shooting cheaper ammo? Hundreds! so... if you are just punching wholes on paper, why not use cheap ammo? I shoot steal case ammo when I am just plinking, I have never broken an extractor.

Just my 2 cents.

I HAD ALREADY SHOT A BOX OF WINCHESTERS AND A BOX OF REMINGTONS TWO DAYS AGO AND HAD NO PROBLEMS IN MY BRAND NEW .308. YESTERDAY, A HERTER'S CARTRIDGE GOT STUCK IN THE BARREL. I BLAMED IT ON BEING DIRTY. I CLEANED THE RIFLE, AND STARTED OVER TODAY. AFTER SHOOTING ANOTHER HALFA DOZEN ROUNDS, ANOTHER STUCK A LITTLE BUT CAME OUT. A COUPLE ROUNDS LATER, I SQUEEZED THE TRIGGER, AND THE HERTER'S CARTRIDGE BLOW BACKWARD AND FORWARD (ACCORDING TO THE GUNSMITH AT THE DEALER'S). IT BLEW MY CARBON THREE-ROUND CLIP OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE GUN. AND IT KNOCKED THE HECK OUT OF MY SUPPORT HAND, WHICH PARTIALLY COVERED THE CLIP IN FIRING POSITION. THE BOLT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AS DOES THE CLIP, OF COURSE. THE GUNSMITH SENT IT OFF TO THE DEALER TO BE WORKED ON. HE SAID THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE AMMO. SO I DON'T CARE IF IT'S MADE OF STEEL OR BRASS OR BUBBLE GUM, HERTER'S AMMO IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR GUN. IT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE TODAY, AND IT KIND OF STUNG THE OL' LEFT HAND AS WELL. THAT STUFF'S CRAP. DON'T BUY IT.

DID I MENTION IT WAS A BRAND NEW GUN? NOT THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS SHOT THROUGH IT--JUST ABOUT 75.

That sucks. My response was not weather or not that was good ammo just that steal case ammo in general is a good deal. I like to shoot Brown Bear. I have shot thousands of rounds with no issue. as for this ammo. I have only shot 80 rounds of .223 in a 5.56 gun with no issue.
