Does anyone have experience with IMI 5.56 NATO 77-grain SMK? I'm considering buying some to shoot from a 1-in-7 twist barrel. Any feedback is welcome.
 
Theres some of that stuff on the shelf here. I shot it in my 20" 1-7, and it snaped my bolt carrier back harder than even my very peppy handloads. It also shot really, REALLY, well. I told the guy who bought the gun from me that he should give it a try, and as far as i know hes not given up on it yet.
 
Wow. That's great feedback. Thanks!

It’s good to go. Definitely loaded to 5.56mm NATO pressure. Make sure your rifle/carbine has an appropriate buffer if you plan to run IMI on s regular basis.

I'm using a Daniel Defense DDM4 V5. Does that fit the bill?
 
That bullet is an outstanding bullet, and IMI brass was one of the best for service rifle reloading. Don't toss your brass, keep it!
 
It's good stuff especially considering it runs .70ish cents a round. I know Midway was running sales on it not sure if they still are. I bought done from sgammo and it was priced Right

My DDM4 V11 Pro runs an H marked buffer, yours probably does too. So a heavy buffer (H) or H2 will run well with 5.56mm. Daniel Defense spends the money to give their customers a properly timed carbine, so you should be good to go.
