ZQI ammo

[6mm Shoot]

I just found ZQI ammo on sale for .35 cents a round. I have never used this ammo.

They say that it is the same thing as green tip. It is made in Turkey. They say Turkish, I have never heard of Turkish so I assume they meant Turkey. They say it is made to M885 standards.

Any way, have you used it? Is it any good? Is it the same as green tip?

One place has it for $ 425 for 1200 rounds. I want to order it but I don't know anything about it.

Thanks for any information you can offer.

go on utube the military arms channel takes a tour of the plant that makes ZQI ammo. I thought it was pretty good.

The arms industry in Turkey seems solid. They are a Nato member so I would suspect it is up to spec.

I "tested" the ZQI 7.62x51 "M-80" and found that it had no notable difference in performance over 69 stamped Canadian M-80.
I also tried the perfecta brand 147grain FMJ and it too had little to no difference in performance.

"Testing" was done at 200 yards with a NM M1A.
No chronograph readings were done, but all held decent groups at the same zero.

Take it for what it's worth.

Thanks. I will place my order.

Are you ordering from ZQI or from somewhere else?
I saw that the ZQI website has IMI ammo too. I'm kind of interested to see how that stuff is.

I have 1200 rounds of zqi, I haven't shot any yet but I'm like you I hope it's good stuff.

 

[BogWalker]

I've heard lots of good reviews on it.

I've had good luck with it in my M4 build, had decent groups while I was zeroing my scope. I bought a bunch before Walmart went soft.

Sawi a metal .50 cal ammo box filled with 1200 rounds of 9mm ZQI for $499 at Walmart, Coldwater Road, FWA yesterday. Tempting, but I left it there. With the elections coming it might be worth stocking up.

For reals? That is $0.42/round and a horrible price

Exactly!! That would be like paying $20 for a box of 50 rounds.

I ordered it from Lucky Gunner.

I've heard nothing but good things about ZQI. Haven't personally confirmed it but no negative reports amongst my peoples.

That is why I left it on the shelf. The metal ammo can makes the price a bit better. Cans go for $18 retail around here. Also the NATO around is more expensive than WWB. This eases the price a bit, but I still left it on the shelf.

Overheard at a walmart ammo counter yesterday: (walmart employee to customer) "ya man walmart aint sellin no more ZQI cuz Turkey got busted holdin hands with ISIS"

For reals? That is $0.42/round and a horrible price

Is that the white box 124 gr NATO rounds or the orange and black box 123gr NATO Specs version in the can?

I have only shot the 123gr orange and black box version because the white was even more expensive when they had it by the box.

The cheaper stuff shot fine, even had a little zip to it. As well as green sealer on the primers

Walmart had dropped the prices on the Perfecta ammo in my area

 

[walleyepw]

Just picked up a ammo can of ZQI at Walmart the other day. I think that it was originally over $400 for the 720 rounds. They had it marked to $180.

That is a decent price ($0.25/rd). Far better than the $0.42/rd back in 2016.
