http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/product1887.html. Have not used it but seen a couple reviews and seems promising.
I picked up a box of the stuff yesterday. Was not magnetic (not that it matters for where I shoot) and seems to be very decent for the price. I've paid more for .45acp

The zqi ammo is not magnetic?
To better clarify the 7.62 NATO I bought was not magnetic. According to the ZQI website the 5.56 NATO they are selling is SS109 which has a steel construction in the bullet.

Shot a box this past weekend, smelled like piss after every round, but it worked in my AR fine.

I've used the 7.62x51 and like it. I got a <1 inch group at 100 with my PTR91 using it. Now it is only $9.97 at Walmart so that is a great deal.

Anyone s this at Columbia, Ellicott City, or Quartefield Road Walmart?
Dundalk walmart had a bunch of the 7.62. Seems like the pile of zqi ammo never changes in there. Whether it's 5.56 or 7.62

The price isn't bad at all. But as noted, it will attract a magnet, so it must be bi-metal.
There's no bullet weight on the box, so that I'm not real crazy about.
I haven't ran it through a rifle yet, but the 7.62 NATO I have. My M1A likes that just fine.

Thanks for that link. I figured, being steel core, this stuff would be 62 gr.
How does 62gr stabilize in a 1:9 barrel?

I have shot the ZQ ammo, both 9mm and 5.56. Zero problems. I go for economy now though. I shoot the Tula steel in all calibers, still no problems.

Eldersburg had 308 and 5.56 this morning.
Ran a box of the .308/7.62 through my AR-10 this afternoon. Zero complaints here. Side by side with the PMC and PRVI-partisan the casings on the ZQI came out far less sooty/dirty and no funky after burn smell like PMC. My marksmanship is far from perfect (I rather sucks I admit) but I have no doubt on the claim of accuracy and that it is every bit as good as the big brands 'plinker ammo' at about half the cost.

I've been shooting it in my SCAR17 and M1A with good results. I shot several 4-5" groups with it at 200 yards with a 6x scope, which I thought was decent.
The box states a 1 MOA guarantee...
I get a flyers with Tula 7.62x51 at a rate of about 1 in 7. Tula .223 is just plain crap... IMO

62gr should stabilize fine...

That's what I found after a bit of huntin'.
Apparently, according to one source, 62gr is perfect for 1:9 barrels, while they would "burn out" a 1:7.
