Good deal on SS109

Just bought some 1993 Spanish production SS109 from www.ammoman.com

Not only is this stuff going cheap ($179/1000) but by the time I checked my email a few hours later, AmmoMan had not only confirmed my purchase - but shipped the order and provided a tracking number as well.

Checked it out over on AR15.com and most people have good things to say about it, although some report ripping off the rims of the brass cases.
 
I ordered some of this stuff a couple months ago. It is great. Accurate and clean. Thanks for reminding me. I think I will go order some more..
 
I'd had some of the "Spanish" 109. Turns out it was made by S&B. Berdan primed, but incredible ammo!!!

Think I might look at some more now.
 
I think you will find a box here and there with very soft brass.

I shot 250 through my pre ban Colt with 4 FTE, I installed a D-Fender D-ring to boost the extractor leverage and had 2 FTE in the next 250 rounds. The next 500 rounds were trouble free and I was planning to order more until my next trip to the range, 210 rounds fired and 5 FTE.

I gave the rest of my stock away and went back to IMI, more expensive, but 100% reliable.

No idea of the velocity of the IMI greentip or IMI M193 that I shoot, I only drag out my chrono for my PSS loads.

I have shot 1000+ IMI greentip SS109 and 500+ Winchester Q3131A (IMI M193) with no problems whatsoever.

Fireforged, that IMI is top notch stuff. I have shot about 5000 rounds so far with NO problems at all. Velocity is about 3050 out of a 16".
