of all the different calibers/guages of Monarch ammunition I have wasted money on in the last 2-3 years, I can safely say it has to ba a very last resort. Not only is it dirty, it is very inconsistent. Sure, just consider it "range ammo", but then consider what you are shooting at the range - TARGETS! If you aren't consistently grouping those little holes in the paper as tight as the weapon is capable of, it must be the cheap commie ammo! Do NOT start tinkering with your iron sights or scopes if you are counting on Monarch (or Wolf, in my opinion) to be the benchmark for adjusting. Now, if you have no other purpose than spray and pray to throw some lead down range, it's fine....if you want to clean up the mess.

I have a good friend that had his Rem 700 in .223 shooting golf balls at 200 yards, using good clean American brass ammo. Last week, he started shooting Monarch (he's really a tightwad about some things), adjusted his scope - about a dozen times - then realized what he had done. He went from single shots fired hitting golf balls at 200 yards to shooting 4 inch groups at 100 yards. He gave away all the Monarch to a "spray and pray" AR shooter, and will now have to start over tweaking the scope.
