TALON Ammo

Anyone have any experience with these guys? I have a chance at some of their .223 & .308 tracer ammo and would like to know if anyone has had any bad experiences with them.

Thanks,
Blake

I am shooting their .50 BMG ammo and it is pretty good.

Cool, I am not looking for, nor am I expecting any type of "Match Grade" performance from this stuff, but I really don't need anything that's going to blow up my rifle either. Thanks for the info TR

Good, because you cannot get that degree of accuracy from Tracer ammo.

Some of their .50 is a bit "warm", check cases the first few rounds you fire and inspect for pressure signs.

Shouild be safe, though.

Forgot to update.

Shot about 20 rounds of this stuff last sunday. All worked fine, were acceptably accurate, and lit just fine out of a 20 inch AR.
