How ZQI Ammunition is made

Tim from the Military Arms Channel tours the MKE factory in Turkey.

Thought this was pretty neat. I feel a little better about this stuff now, lol

This is the stuff they aren't selling at Walmart any more and want us to pay Lake City / IMI prices for....no thanks. :lol2:

It pops up from time to time here in Dundalk. I bought some recently from there.

Columbia and Ellicot City have tons of ZQI 9mm - no one wants it... :lol2:

We've all been waiting for the $6.94 rollback to roll down the road to us. :envy:

Yeah? I recently got some in AACO. Good price. Did something change?

Didn't know there was an issue with it. When the ATF was threatening to ban SS109, this stuff stayed on the shelves because people didn't think it was the same as the federal stuff, lol.

I prefer their 9mm to must other stuff

The Walmarts I go to in VA have it.

I love this ammo. Shoot great out of my glocks and ARs. Is walmart really going to stop selling this stuff? Great video by the way.

BossmanPJ · Apr 13, 2015

I've never shot it. There is always some in north east Wal mart but I usually buy the federal or winchester.

Combloc · Apr 13, 2015

I've bought literally thousands and thousands of rounds of both the 7.62 and the 9mm. It is absolutely first rate ammunition.

Right now, at Columbia and Ellicot City, the Perfecta is $10.97/box and the ZQI is $12.xx.

When the Perfecta runs out, may be a switch to the ZQI is in order... However, the BrassMaxx (which I've used before) is only $23.xx / 100ct and the WWB / 100ct is $26.xxx. so not much difference price-wise.

However, I'm nervous about the ZQI after this report:

Combloc, have you noticed any issues with the ZQI w/ respect to bulging cases?

Combloc · Apr 13, 2015

No. I look at every spent casing too because I sell it as once fired brass. I've never seen a problem. Of course, with ANY manufacturer, you can get a bad batch but I shoot the stuff through guns worth more than my truck (of course, that's not saying much) and don't worry about it one bit.

Their contract with Walmart is ending - this is straight from a ZQI employee. They are selling the ammo on their website....google it if you want a good chuckle.

There's a thread on arfcom regarding it.

Combloc · Apr 13, 2015

Here is a sample of some stuff I've shot recently. The 5 on the left were shot through a SIG AMT, the middle through an FAL and the right through an HK91:

The beat up cases are a result of the rifle. It has nothing to do with the quality of the brass. If your roller lock isn't beating up the brass, there's something wrong with it!

Close-up of a base:

I've shot a lot of NATO surplus and the ZQI has been every bit its equal. I would expect that because it IS NATO, just commercialized.

Combloc · Apr 13, 2015

As for the 9mm, I don't inspect every spent casing but I do spot check. Again, I've never seen a problem. I don't think the ammo is the problem in the referenced thread. That's a firearm problem.

I see it on their Facebook page. Sounds like Walmart either sold it at a loss or with very little profit. I guess I'm going to Walmart and clearing them out again. My AR really likes ZQI.

Thanks for the reference.

Maybe time to add some more 124gr NATO to the ammo box...

You won't regret it.
