The only problems I had were 2 duds.  Was not a problem with light primer strikes, 2 out of the same box just failed to fire even the the primers had clear firing pin indentations on them.

The other boxes I had shot off without a problem feeding, ejecting or firing.

Same with that box of UMC I shot up (9mm) in my HiPoint.

Not reliable, kind of weak (sometimes wouldn't cycle).

Duds galore.

Haven't used it recently but in the past UMC ran fine in both my Stag AR and Mini-14.

Always runs fine for me but it does seem under powered

I had a bad box of UMC in .223 that had the same problems. Also had problems with duds in 45 acp box of 200 I bought. I have better luck with Wolf or anything else but UMC!

I never shoot UMC anymore. I had a bunch of issues in 45acp year ago as did a friend of mine. It is usually more expensive than normal federal ammo so no point to buy it IMO.
