They break down in sunlight by the way. The way most plastics do.
The mouths are the first to go, and fail to grip the bullet.

Well last week we tried some more of the Miltech plastic ammo. Here is the result at 100 yards from a Sig 556 rifle. The ammo fired from our AR15's aka shorty/Car/M4 was about the same.

Head shots

All rifles were 16" barrels (at least the AR's) unsure as to the Sig but it looks like a 16" barrel.

Ok I have been bad.

As to the ammo it is made by a company called "NATEC" not the other name I thought it was.

Sorry for the wrong info.

Yes it is a nice rifle and I wish it was mine! I would like one of these days to have either a Sig556 or Magpul's new Masada rifle, but its a dream and only money keeps me away.

Masada below!!

one of the post said it was about $3.00 a box. if thats the case I'll order 1000 rounds of it and start having fun at the range again with my bush master. The gun guy I use in town had ordered some at one point for someone but he does not remember getting it or where it came from. With the excesive price increase in 223 I have been just saving what I have. The gun sop owner told me today that he got notified by his wholesalers that the prices are going up on ammo again after the first of the year.

The cases are actually a polymer not ordinary plastic. Nantec's web site is still up so you can check it out.
