Alright, so today I decided to get out to the range and do a little shooting with some .223 Remington Scorpio ammo from STV Technology. This stuff is their 55gr full metal jacket, and I was pretty curious to see how it performed.
Getting Started
First thing, I got all my gear together. I packed up my rifle, a good old AR-15, which I’ve always found to be super reliable. I made sure I had all my safety essentials – eye protection, ear protection, the whole nine yards. Safety first, right?
Then, I grabbed a few boxes of this Scorpio ammo. I’ve heard some good things about STV, mostly about their 9mm, but this was my first time trying their .223. I made sure the ammo was in good condition, no weird dents or anything that looked off.
Setting Up at the Range
Once I got to the range, I found a nice, clear lane. I set up my targets at about 100 yards. I like to start there to get a feel for the ammo and how my rifle handles it.
I took my time to get comfortable, got my rifle all set up on the bench rest. It’s always important to make sure you’re steady, especially when you’re testing out new ammo. You want to see what it can really do, not how shaky your hands are.
The Shooting Begins
Loaded up the first magazine, took a deep breath, and started firing. Right off the bat, I noticed the recoil was pretty manageable. Nothing too crazy, just what you’d expect from a .223.
I fired off a few rounds, really focusing on my aim and how the rifle felt with each shot. I was paying close attention to how the ammo fed into the chamber. No jams, no misfires, it was all going smoothly. That’s a big plus in my book.
Checking the Results
After emptying a couple of magazines, I went downrange to check my targets. I was pretty pleased with the grouping. The shots were consistent, no wild flyers or anything like that. For a 55gr FMJ, it was performing really well.
I spent the rest of the afternoon shooting and just enjoying the day. I went through a good amount of this Scorpio ammo, and honestly, I didn’t run into any issues. It was all pretty consistent, which is exactly what you want from your ammo.
Final Thoughts
All in all, I’d say my experience with the STV Technology .223 Remington Scorpio 55gr FMJ ammo was a positive one. It’s reliable, it’s consistent, and it didn’t give me any headaches.
Would I use it again? Absolutely. I think it’s a solid choice for anyone who’s looking for some dependable .223 ammo, whether you’re just plinking at the range or doing some more serious target practice. It’s definitely worth giving a shot. No pun intended.
So, that’s my little adventure with the Scorpio ammo. Hope you guys found it helpful. Remember, always be safe out there, and have fun shooting!
