“cheap” ammunition though nor do our shooters. If you want something that just goes “bang” we are the wrong place to shop. We are very serious about your experience in enjoying accuracy when shooting. We like the only variable in shooting to be. So there is the challenge; Have good performance and be affordable. It is harder than one would think but we try.
In our economy ammunition construction we use a lesser quality bullet that is inherently less accurate by design and construction. They are generally designed for a machine gun and not a quality rifle. So we have a challenge to get good performance and be economical.

pocket, had the special exclusive low drag chamfer put on the case mouth, and fully inspected. They have a high polish on them and they look and shoot great! We use modern gunpowder and quality american made primers. They are not approved for hunting in all 50 states though.
The M33 bullet can not be used for hunting due to the mild steel core it has. These are not armor piercing though. They shoot about 200 feet per second slower than the competition round. Average accuracy in most rifles due solely to the M33 bullet. This is an excellent “plinking” round. Note that this projectile will not pass the magnetic test at shooting ranges. Most shooting ranges in the United States do not allow steel bullets so check your local rules. We make it here. This lower cost ball round is made here and each round is hand weighted.

WHAT ACCURACY SHOULD EXPECT FROM THIS ECONOMY AMMUNITION?
Generally this ammunition with a machine gun bullet will never perform as well as ammunition with a quality bullet like a Hornady A-MAX bullet. It is not designed too in anyway. So what can you expect? Here is an outline of our experiences with this lesser quality Ball type 50 BMG ammunition;
1.M33 Ball from AZ AMMO- Expect 18 to 25 inch groups at 1,000 yards from a quality 50 BMG rifle like a McBros, Armalite AR-50, L.A.R. Grizzly (longer barrel), Barrett 99, and similar. Quality optics will be a factor in the optics too.
