Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
At the price of ten bucks for a box (308), I think of it as "Wolf", but in brass instead of steel. Good enough for "big hole" plinking.
Not sure why I even pick up the brass since I don't reload.
At least they still carry it at that price. Wasn't real sure that would be the case when it was marked as clearanced way back when. Hopefully it will still be available when I can again afford to buy more.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
Just got this info in an email from AIM Surplus.
This is interesting considering WalMart was previously the sole distributor of ZQI ammo.
I did hear that they were not going to continue selling it so perhaps AIM scooped up a pile that WalMart would no longer take?

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
Walmart is done with this line the story is ZQI would not meet the amount and pricing Walmart wanted to pay for their product so ZQI did not renew their contract. They are now selling directly off their site or to any ammo retailer or gun dealer who wants it. It's decent ammo however it's not nearly as good as it's Federal counterparts I have trouble with their 5.56 Nato loads short stroking one of my AR's when using standard Federal .223 or XM193 runs it with no issues. Never used their .308/7.62 but at this price it would be worth giving it a shot.

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
ZQI has now gotten a name change to "Guardian" instead of ZQI.
For a while there 7.62 NATO had a price floor of 60 cents a round on brass M80 type ammo. This year that dropped to 50 cents and is now nudging below that. Buy cheap while you can because prices can go up anytime.
I've been put off buying this as I heard from some reloaders the brass was a bit soft and not durable and they had some issues reloading it. I might buy a small quantity and see how it is.

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
Back before my money situation turned dire, I had picked up a box or two at a time when I was in the store and wish I could get more.
I still see it at some Walmarts, but I don't see it as much now. The price is hard to beat. Big difference from when I first started this thread!I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
It should disappear from Wal Marts by the end of the year. Apparently the contract ended a while ago but Wal Mart had bought a substantial quantity. Also Wal Mart has shifted their sales philosophy away from modern sporting rifles to cheap but ancient sporting rifles, so expect this type of ammunition regardless of manufacturer to be de-emphasized in their stores.
I'm reloading M80 147g Magtech bullets right now in my 7.62 NATO brass with #34 CCI primers and IMR 4895 powder for around 30 cents a round. I aggressively shop for and wait for a good sale and acquire reloading components in bulk and I can't remember when I last bought ammo at retail in a gun shop or at Wal Mart. It's been at least a year, maybe longer.

Re: ZQI Turkish Ammo at Wal-Mart
It just sucks because while it's easy for someone to say "You can get t for $XXX.XX a case", that is of no use to someone who can not afford to buy it in case quantities.
Being able to walk into Walmart and pick up a box or three for (essentially) the same low price was nice while it lasted.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
