Overall I am very pleased with my experience shooting the Gorilla match. We experienced zero malfunctions, nor any problems whatsoever. For a brand new, lightweight AR-15 being shot off a day bag we were impressed with the performance and were very happy with the ammunition. The ammo contributed to this by printing consistently and uniformly down range, with only an occasional flyer leaving the 1” groupings from shooter error. I set up the custom rifle was set up with a crisp trigger, tight match bolt carrier and precision-oriented barrel hoping it would be a pleasure to shoot I was relieved that it proved to be so. There was no time spent ‘breaking the barrel' in, as I generally judge accuracy of a rifle on how it performs out of the box. Each was a mirror image of the next and shot with the same consistency.Īt 100 yds we achieved several 1 and sub-minute of angle groups with the unproven rifle. Of the several hundred rounds shot, we failed to find a single damaged round. The SMK projectile is loaded into bright, polished Lake City brass and is appealing to the eye under close inspection (we spent a lot of time looking for flaws). We found it easy to pluck the ammo out of the clam shell to load our magazines. The cartridges are packed in a plastic clam shell holder, which slides easily out of its cardboard box. I have found that 77 grain tends to shoot consistently well from all twists ratios and barrel lengths, and to perform better at extended range. 223/ 5.56 tends to make me lean towards the heavy 77 grain projectiles, particularly the Sierra brand. The ammunition is loaded with Sierra brand MatchKing projectiles (in our preferred weigh of 77 grains). Shooting from both prone supported and from the bench, we continued to test the new rifle and Gorilla's. The single ragged hole created by the 77 grain match was a good indicator of things to come. We fired a single 3 round string of Gorilla Ammunition’s 77 grain match at this distance before moving on to 100yds. At this range, using M193 spec ammo, the virgin barrel shot 1-2 MOA. Free floated and set up in a DMR style, the rifle was zeroed at 50yds with 55gr FMJ ball. The weapon features a Nordic Components 18” stainless match barrel, Bean Firearms 4.5 lb trigger and Young Manufacturing match bolt carrier, topped with SWFA 3-9 mil radian scope. I built the rifle for my YouTube buddy “Capt Berz” and each component part was selected for quality and accuracy. The test weapon for this excursion was a hand-built custom AR-15 I assembled myself. My buddy and I headed to the range to see if what they said was true or hype. It's easy for a company to boast about how good their QC/ QA is, but sometimes it's a little less than stellar in execution. This inspection process yields the most control in our manufacturing processes and results in you receiving product that is the pinnacle of accuracy and performance!” 0005″ (1/2 of one-thousandth of an inch). “At Gorilla Ammunition every round that passes through our loading equipment is measured for dimensional conformance six times with laser inspection equipment capable of repeatable measuring accuracy of. Using laser inspection and high speed camera equipment, the rounds are inspected mechanically as well as personally with the good old Eyeball Mk1.

Gorilla Ammunition advises they quality check their ammo through a series of both high- and low-tech means. Furthermore, it doesn't bode well for confidence – what if that had been loaded into a life or death gun and not a one-way square range? Pulling a damaged round out of the box is more than just a ‘WTF moment', it leaves you feeling cheated. More than just a handful of companies have put faulty ammo out the door. In the past I have pulled ammo out of the box that had dimpled brass, crooked projectiles and improperly seated primers. My interest was piqued by their claim of superior quality assurance. What initially attracted me to Gorilla wasn't just their pricing, though it is extremely competitive with the more recognized titans of the industry. 223 Remington my buddy had while we checked out a new rifle. Since the company has their ammo priced right, I decided to try some of the. I'd heard they were a source of 300BLK ammo in quantity and quality and that they had loads to suit just about everyone. Gorilla Ammunition specializes in rifle caliber ammo (for now), producing several choices for. One new company that I only recently become aware of is Gorilla Ammunition. Competition keeps prices down and drives improvement to quality. Not only does that help us keep a healthy stock at the ready it also means more competition. As I see it, the more quality makers of rifle cartridges there are, the better. I always like to hear about new ammunition manufacturers, if for no other reason than because I like to shoot.
