Discover the history and usage of New Republic ammo for training and range!

 
Short Version: No concerns from me
Used it many times (9mm Luger). No complaints. Never had any kind of misfire or failure to cycle. Probably gone through over 1k rounds of it by now.
I happened to be at a LGS picking up a transfer and hear the counter guy speak highly of it to a customer as well....for what that is worth.
 
they shoot well enough but they're crap for reloading.

Norma-esque tiny flash holes

>> LARGE pistol primer pockets << No, not kidding

cheap and leave 'em in the sand or recycle pile.

Oh, also, sorta related, the Igman's are crimped and lacquered

I find that they have tiny flash holes as well (for 9 mm). Seemed like one batch was OK, but most can't be reliably deprimed with a standard depriming pin.
 
Similar experience -- no misfires or jams. Found the 9mm 124gr was a little snappier than other brands - but that might be a DFF* observation.

Love the 380 acp for my Beretta cheetah. Target sport sent me a free box of 9mm when I ordered some CCI for my M9. Not bad. I ended up ordering more. Can’t beat the price on the 380!!! Will continue to use both 380 and 9mm.
