Not Bad

For the price its not terrible but would have purchased something else probably aluminum.

needed slight modification to the 'case'

like member 'sonic boom', these rounds also were difficult to chamber, and difficult to extract. I determined that the issue was that the case rim depth on these rounds is a bit too thick. I reduced the thickness by running the base of the rounds on some find grit sand paper, and they cycle perfectly now. other than the bit of tolerance mismatch, they are very nice, and a few minutes spent modifying them and they work perfectly.
