Hotshot 8mm ammo

I bought several boxes when CIA had it for 5.00 a box last month - fired 15 rounds today and had 3 pierced primers - also accuracy was below that of Turkish Surplus - at least it was not corrosive.

A little disconcerting having smoke come back out of the action of a bolt gun - no harm done - I will have to advise against this one in the future.

Hotshot

I've shot the Hotshot in .303 and it was excellent, very accurate.
