Ive used a bunch of the 9mm bullets removed from AAC ammo that didnt pass the test. The FMJ bullets (124 & 115gr) were made by Fiocchi which have the golden color appearance. Im testing different loads of Power Pistol powder with the Argentinian primers.

Update on AAC. I'm wondering if they're getting any components like powder from China?

My hunting partner and I have used it. We both bought 3 or 4 boxes in different calibers. All mine have been good, if a little under velocity. He had a couple rounds where the case mouths were crushed in bullet loading. From what I have seen elsewhere, QC seems spotty. You get people with excellent results and people with poor results. So even if they are getting foreign components, they are following up with poor quality control as well, it would appear.

Very interesting. For anyone to start up from scratch both ammo and primer manufacturing without government contract support is VERY impressive. Their other ventures can sometimes be very good--and sometimes not so great. I wish them luck.
