You guys are the best on info. What do you think about this ammo??? It's cheap, but a brass case (unlike Wolf,etc.). Would it feed thru an AR? Would you shoot it? Thanks.

Can't speak specifically to your AR, but I have recently bought about 60 rounds (local range) Hot Shot in .303 British for my Enfield, and have had no trouble at all with it. I'll continue to buy it.

Not sure if you reload or not, but you can't reload that brass (berdan primed).

I've no experience with it's quality.
