Nope, it isn't !! I bought 3 boxes of their 9mm 115g about 5 months ago. I didn't really like the look of the taper crimp on them, but the store had (US made) "Ammo-Inc." 9mm and it looked about the same, so figured would probably be OK with it. Another thing I didn't like was the headstamps varied on rounds in the same box!
At the time, I "Googled" the company name and found a video put out by ZSR - saw some of those same concerns there. "You Tube" reviews varied from very good to horrible! Not sure whether I should shoot any of this or not, but plan to do searches on the lot numbers (each box is different) to see if I find any problems. Here's (2) links to the Factory videos and another by a guy who noticed the headstamps. Also, will attach a couple pictures I took at the time I brought them home. I don't know if they're making all calibers at that same plant in Turkey, or not. - Bob

Reason: Added a 2nd Factory video and the "correct" one on headstamps
Saw this stuff for sale a couple of months back while watching for 9mm prices to drop. Found the same hit and miss reviews mentioned, and passed. Glad I did now. Thanks for the warnings, guys.
I have never seen powder granules like that semi spherical to oblong and flat shapes almost looks like a duplex loading he does another vid where he pulls 13 rounds (Bakers Doz) alarmingly one round was 10 grains under the others which varied a bit but around 41Gns.
That 10 grain under could set up a EE event where the flash goes across the top of the powder column as it sits below the primer hole instead of starting from the rear, so you get more powder instantly lit setting up a bad detonation as that's what I called it after happened to me.
The action held and only the case ruptured I was using 760 ball powder very fine grained and a light load in my 6.5 x 284 now I keep my densities at 85-90% bit more recoil but much safer for me and the rifle oh and bystanders!
