    Default ZALA IPSC Line 12 Ga Shells - Legit ?

    Pretty stinking low price for these, showed up at the top of the Ammoseek list. 50 shells for about $20 plus shipping.

    So, is this legit or bogus or what? I don't have a warm fuzzy about it, but the price is ridiculous, thought I'd see what you think. Thanks.

    Took the plunge, $33 and change with shipping, my error earlier.

    I think I was more concerned about the vendor than the ammo, but they appear legit also. I'll try to post some results after I get to fire a few.

    2 boxes of 25 = 50 shells shipped for $33.26 = 66.5 cents ea.

    Same shipping cost for 4 boxes, didn't look higher than that.

    I would approach with EXTREME caution for this website. It may be legit, but maybe not.

    Mailing address is some guy's house. Warehouse is a beer brewery. Company started in 2020 but website started in june 2022. Called the number and was greeted with "Hi this is steve". The name Steve is registered to the domain here: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ct/1348363

    Something just doesn't rub me right about the site.

    Very tempting but I already spent enough this past few months.

    OK, here's what I've discovered. This is a legit website. They took my money and shipped the product. I actually got the ammo today, two days after I ordered it.

    Took some out this afternoon and compared it to some other stuff (see photos). Sorry there is no scale shown on the targets, I'm a worthless schmuck. The spread on the Remington was maybe 8-10 inches. All shots were taken at 21 feet except for the 2nd ZALA pic which was 2 shots at 40 feet.

    Bottom line, this seems like pretty decent stuff at a great price. As I mentioned, it had showed up at the top of the list on Ammoseek which is why I took the chance on it. Only thing is that the website description says it's 9 pellets and I only counted 8 (and the shell is clearly marked 8P on it).
