Been seeing this ammo in Walmart for a pretty good price anybody know if it's any good?
 
I did the 9's and 38's, no problems burned clean groups were reasonable.
9's are routinely sold out at the local W**M***
 
The range pick ups of that brass don't reload well at all. Quite hard to prime for some reason. I trash them.
 
I compared the .45ACP Perfecta with Blazer Brass last week. In the two pistols I was using, the Perfecta gave better groups and was more accurate.

Also compared the .38 Spl Perfecta to Magtec. Perfecta shot clean, and was more accurate, and grouped better.

I was surprised, and if I didn't already have a significant stash of both calibers, I'd be at WalMart stocking up on Perfecta.

NOTE: I do not reload.
 
I bought three boxes of .223 and it was as accurate as the Remington I also shot. As someone else mentioned its Fiocchi.
 
It appears to be very high quality brass for reloading

Picked up over 200 pieces of Perfecta 45 ACP brass at the range and started reloading it today, First thing I noticed was the uniformity was really good. In measuring a good quantity I found that they were dimensionally very consistent and priming was a breeze, Not sure what caliber joem1945 was having problems with but the 45s are as consistent as any brass I have seen in my 30 plus years of reloading.
Took 20 to the range and accuracy was as good as any other case I have ever used. Already reloaded that 20 and again they were very consistent.
For me it gets a thumbs up!
 
Hopefully this helps:
The primers on a box of 357 I shot were backing out jamming up the cylinder.
I've shot quite a bit of 9mm and it has been good, no more 357 for me.
 
I've run a couple boxes in 9mm and .45, and it's been fine. At $10 a box for the 9mm, it seems to disappear from my local WM shelves even faster than the $10 Federal aluminum (which I also like).
I also shot a box of .223 though a CZ 527, and while it ran 100%, it didn't exactly give me match-grade accuracy. But I'd still take it all day long over any Rusky steel-cased stuff.
 
I purchased a bunch of the that ammo, especially when I went to Front Sight Shooting Academy, as they will not allow any reloaded ammo. I used it in my AR-15, and I got decent (not great) accuracy, but never the less it did shoot every time, and the brass (Front Sight prevents collecting your used brass) is definitely reloadable, as I found out on my home range. Do like the price.
