A guy at the range a few weeks back was using it with no bad results.

I use it in my cetme and ptr91 with no problems also.

I've run over 300 rounds of it through mine so far and no problems whatsoever. Eats it up like a champ.

The last time I cleaned it after 100 rounds I didn't notice it was particularly dirty at all.

Hopefully the price comes down some more. I wanna pick up another 1k. I actually like it better than the South African surplus.
