   I can not say this enough, this ammo is amazing in all their calibers. Though pricey when it was impossible to find ammo, and prices were skyrocketing. Fort Scott's prices stayed consistent. So when it was approaching 90 cents a round for usually cheap ammo, it was just more cost effective to buy large amounts of Fort scott. I witnessed these folks take every pistol caliber they produce and, hunt black bear, humanely killing each animal with one shot (outside any misses which I don't think there was) with .38 special-10mm. The day I witnessed someone kill a bear with a .380 single shot I was sold as I live deep in bear country. Now I can carry a light pistol with a 9mm 5" barrel and 20 round magazine vs, a heavy 454 or greater hand cannon with 5-6 rounds. The key here being barrel length to reach higher velocities obviously. Do not do this unless you are a Combat Veteran with a death wish looking to die in glorious combat using a sidearm,winkler tomahawk and knife duo to be fair… I digress. Regardless the ballistics and accuracy I've had using this ammunition has been astounding, using a radian model one 10.5" pistol, a scope, and years of training I was reaching 700 yards consistently and repeatedly albeit wind conditions and temp were perfect but, I did it with a fair amount of ease. I now carry this ammunition exclusively for my back country firearms like my M-4 and Warpoet feeling absolutely confident in my safety. As a plus I am a crippled Combat vet, so carrying large amounts of weight isn't ideal in my circumstance. This ammo is light! Being able to carry a light M-4 and 9mm or in this inference an Ak from Meridian Defense, and a 2011 with my axe and bushknife from winkler ( I call it my cold war 2 loadout) across back country littered with large bears ranging from basic to grizzly, Moose, wolves, and a pissed off Bambi or mountian lions all because your bloody huskie got out again and ran 7 miles in the woods!… Weight is everything for someone like me. Now I can enjoy getting back to nature, going on hikes, and not blowing out my knees just due to weight alone, and know I am safe and secure from the more primal side of mother nature. I also don't enjoy making creatures suffer, so knowing I can drop an animal with a clean shot, dying quick and clean is a bonus for me. Also carrying said equipment… you have to look cool right? I mean darn, I get extra cool points for the winkler stuff alone. This review has probably gone on far to long lol. Regardless each item I've listed off are pieces of equipment that I trusted my life to during service, and we all know facing mother nature is the ultimate battle, contest of strength and will. Just remember you can have the coolest, goochiest, ultimate gear in the world, without training though, all you are is a gear drop for big foot, or the Commies when they finally rain from the sky giving me my Wolverine dream. Patrick Swayze holding me close from behind, a little unchained melody, and the soft squeeze of a Romanian AK directly into a commie at 300 yards… God where was I… oh, yes training is everything, after that get yourself some Fort Scott ammo and, sit back knowing that wether its in the woods, or in your home, you are going to be accurate, and drop whatever threat you may come across. So in closing, be like me random reader reading a review from some random internet person hoping they're not only real, but also honest. Don't let big foot use you like a Call of Duty gear drop. Use the best large animal protection you can get, leaving big foots only option to be stuffed in a museum. Good luck to you, we are all counting on you, and please don't call me Shirley.

   Pros:Great to get around Leadfree Hunting rules.No worries about cleaning out lead from your game meat (Deer, Pig, etc).Range safe (Not magnetic).More affordable compared to its leadfree contenders: Underwood, and DoubleTap TSX.Cons:Its Ballistics are similar to how Barnaul/BrownBear HP act so if you dont care for Brass just use Barnaul HP (Not reccomended for Hunting due to lack of expansion, but the choice is yours).There's a higher than average chance that shooting game may risk hitting the unintended organs (Tumbling isn't a bug, but a feature) which may release gases and make eating much less enjoyable. Remember it tumbles so don't expect it to exit around the same area.What you see is what you get with this ammo. Would be interested if they made a Hollowpoint Leadfree to contend with the other brands. If you want a round for defense, this can do the job like any other round but Underwood has been shown to work as short as 8" (penetration and expansion), and at 100yds too! But for one box of Underwood or TSX, you could get 2 boxes of this. In terms of accuracy, I can't speak. My range at best goes to 50 but I've been able to hit past 200yds with a short barrel on a human silhouette with irons at a shooting event. Every gun is different so what accuracy I get out of mine likely won't be out of yours. Aim small miss small.I hope this review gives folks a better idea of what to expect out of this ammo.TLDR: Good to get around Ranges and Leadfree hunting rules. Clean hunting on game. More affordable compared to other 7.62×39 lead free brands. Ballistics are similar to Barnaul HP so don't expect anything stellar. Can't speak on match grade accuracy as everyone has a different build. The risk of using this to hunt comes with the impact hitting unintended gases, but to each their own. If you need Ammo for Defense/Hunting this may do the job and you can get 2 boxes for the price of 1 box of Underwood or DoubleTap.
