It was horribly inaccurate in my Hakim, but that might have been due to the violent loading knocking the short bearing length bullets out of line. Or something. But it burned clean and went off every time, IIRC. Still have a big mess of it. Saw bandoleers full of the stuff for US$39 last weekend. Most of mine was obtained at US$5 per bandoleer less than ten years ago, probably closer to five years.
