Any opinions on this brand of Philippine mfg. ammo? Bought a Browning 1911-22 recently, and along with it a 500 rd. brick of Armscor 36gr HVHP - the brick was $32.
Thanks for the information, guess it wasn't too bad a deal at $32.00. Still have about 1 1/2 bricks of Remington Std. velocity lr, as well as Lord knows how many rounds of BB/CB caps, CB Longs, Sub-Sonics, Shorts and so forth, so we should be in good shape for a little while.
I have several bricks of it and like it. well better than any bulk(loose) pack and enough zip in em to cycle my difficult semi auto rifles.
it has decent accuracy and consistency for all of my rifles.
I bought two bricks about 9 months ago for 22.95 each and one turned out to be hollow point. I keep that for the wife for home defense since she will not shoot anything bigger. I had one small issue with my Sig 1911 but I think it had more with the gun being brand new rather than the ammo. Ran alot through my Savage with no problems at all. I wish I could find more. Went back to same shop and not a single round of it.

Fortunately or unfortunately - depends on how you look at I guess, Sitka's an island. Ammo, primers, powder and the like have to be brought in by barge, which of course means $$$.

I bought a brick of Armscor about a month ago but haven't shot it yet since I have other bricks already open. Bu I picked up a 525 round brick of Federal CPHP's for $25.08 including tax at BPS today, 1 to a customer. Yesterday they were selling the same but in the 50 round boxes for $2.39 each, 2 to a customer.
I would rather it was 40gr.....I do think I see a difference in function in semi-autos....but it works well. That being said, and all else said....I have never had problems with Rem Goldens....in fact, I am shooting mostly Rem Goldens these days.......NOS that I paid a whopping $7.99/brick [just to rub it in teehee]
I know that this post is six years old but I wanted to share my experience with Armscor in the 80's. The long rifle ammo that I used came in a yellow box with black and red printing.
Velocity was all over the place, the ammo was EXTREMELY dirty to shoot. Rounds were also out of round and/or oversized, which caused an out of battery fire sending brass shards into the top of my hand when shooting my 10-22.
