I've never shot any of their 9mm and this may be apples vs oranges, but I used to have a bunch of ZQI 7.62x51 147gr ball that was noticeably under-powered compared to standard NATO spec ammo. To the point that I had to close the gas regulator on my FAL completely to make it cycle the stuff.

Sorry guys, never tried it before. Just saw the AIM email notification of the deal, so I figured I'll give someone a heads up. Been occupied with little things all day, I might give it a try.

I’ll start with this…I’ve never shot ZQI 9MM steel…but I’ve shot a lot of their brass 7.62X51 back in the day when WallyWorld sold any ammo other than .22 or shotgun shells and they were really good in a bolt gun…I wouldn’t worry too much about their 9MM ammo even in steel cased…I’ve been satisfied with their overall quality…but as in all things YMMV …This being said…that’s a good deal in this day and time.

That's not a bad price these days, and hopefully a sign that other manufacturers will be stepping up to fill the void in steel cased ammo caused by the Russian ammo import ban.
