I wanted to get some opinions about the commonly seen (at Walmart for me) Federal 230gr fmj 100 round bulk pack ammo. I purchased six boxes over the last 2 years, and finally shot through my other range ammo to get to this stuff.
I took 2 boxes of it out to the range to shoot through my Glock 21 and 30. I was simply amazed at the amount of debris that comes out of the muzzle with each shot!!
Picture a party popper that shoots confetti, and that was my experience with this ammo. But instead of confetti, it was soot and ash. After shooting all 200 rounds, I had soot/ash all over my hands, forearms, forehead, and on top of my head. And I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it was a substantial amount.
I am just curious if anybody else has had a similar experience with this ammo? I have shot ammo from just about every manufacturer there is, in all different calibers, and have never experienced anything quite like this with any other ammo. Federal 9mm in the 100 round bulk pack shoots relatively clean.
While all 200 rounds fired reliably, both pistols were absolutely filthy, as was I I still have 400 rounds of this stuff left, and I'm questioning if I even want to shoot it.
