Any of you out there unforunte enough to ever shoot this??? Found 4 boxes of this in my ammo stash and from what I have learned on the Interweb it didn't work real well and only lasted about a year.

  Some places still sell it. The only problems I read about it were in AK,S and fluted chambers. Also some info about leaving empty case in a hot barrel. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=16&t=187339

  Dick thanks for the link, but there is nothing on the web about this ammo since 2005, about a year after it came out. Seen another link where one guy had 2 rifles put down because he had head separations in the chamber and had nothing to remove the brass with.

  Always worked good for me. Word of caution but, DON"T use it after you have shot
  any type of steel ammo that has/had lacquer or a similar coating. Start with a clean chamber. And NEVER use it in a fluted chamber gun.

  At one point I had about 90k rounds of it... there were commercial cases and military cases. The military cases were stronger/thicker.
  
  I did fire about 2k of the commercial white cased 55gr with no issues using an old Colt SP1.
