Reviews & Ratings for Aguila Ammunition 5.56x45mm NATO Ammo 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Brass Cased Rifle Ammunition — 12 reviews — Page 1

Bought this ammo for the price for the 1st time. Got a SQUIB on my 2nd stage of a rifle match. Bullet stuck in the barrel. Ejected the case which I thought was a jammed round. Lucky the SQUIB bullet was lodged close enough to the chamber to prevent loading the next round. Otherwise might very well have a blown barrel or worse!!! Agree with other reviews that warned of Squibs. SQUIBs with this brand are real! Yes, I should have checked the reviews before buying and shooting has inherent risks. BUT honestly, is TRUSTING OpticsPlanet with the most basic consumer safety too much to expect. Extremely disappointed at OpticsPlanet!

All of the other negative reviews are accurate. Out of the first box I had a dud round, another round where the powder did not ignite, and a squib that lodged into my barrel. If I did not know what I was doing, the next round would have caused serious injury. I have never shot worse ammo in my entire life. Optics planet, you have a responsibility to remove this product off your website.

I got a squib with this on my first magazine, out of a LWRCI SPR rifle. At first I thought it was just a rare occurrence, but I received another squib during my 3rd magazine. I have no faith in this ammo anymore.

I’m not usually one for writing bad reviews but I’ve just became a little disgruntled. And, that takes a lot to get me there. I purchased this ammo and understand it can’t be returned, I get it. However, I’ve sent two request to support to warn them of the potential concern and danger of using this ammo and the squid loads I’ve encountered. I also understand they have a huge responsibility and liability and can’t just take my word for it. Considering I received no follow-up or response, i’d stopped wondering and thought maybe it’s just me. So, I went out to the range again hoping I can get my monies worth and not chalk this up as a loss, but it happened again and that’s not just a coincidence. Another squid load but if not for the assistance of the range employees I was able to save my Colt AR15 on each occasion. Consider what you want, I can not recommend or no longer use the remaining 800+ rounds that remain for safety and security reasons.

I wish I read the reviews of others before trying this ammo. I kept having rounds getting stuck in the barrel, powder did not ignite or they were very under powered, resulting in the bullet stuck in the barrel and following rounds getting squished so the bullet would recede into the casing. Optics planet needs to take these off the menu. I thought it was my rifle at first but then I used the same rounds in my Daniel Defense mk12 and got the same issues

Good product, excellent communication, fast delivery

I kept having rounds getting stuck in the barrel. Like other reviews the powder did not ignite or they were very under powered, resulting in the bullet stuck in the barrel and following rounds getting squished so the bullet would recede into the casing. These are not worth the risk or money.

3 or 4 out of every box are squibs the powder isn’t igniting causing the bullet to get stuck in barrel

Bought 900 rds have only shot 30 and over half were squibs, powder isn’t igniting when the primer goes off

First time purchasing these - used in a Radian Model 1 with no issues.
