AE AMMO….. TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!

[Expat]

Its not...

Well that’s disappointing

Live and learn…… getting my order together at SG AMMO…… adding 2K rounds of 75gr 5.56 to it as well while I’m there

Did you finally sell some of those guns?

But seriously, don't cut your nose off to spite your face. AE would have shipped your whole order, free. Just how badly did you need that buckshot? Somebody planned a riot in your neighborhood and didn't tell you until the last minute? Don't be mad at them because you didn't check. Online sales are kind of a bitch to manage, I expect. What with the shortage of intelligent people who are willing to do any manual labor.

So I should call Walmart and Kroger before I drive 15 miles to see if they have the bread and milk I need?

The internet cured the old saying,
Let your Fingers do the Walking.

Ammo is a little different ballgame. If bread and milk were in short supply, you'd just stand in line like a good communist to get yours. Along with toilet paper.

 

[patience0830]

Exactly. Not a member here that would have driven 55 miles one way only to find out its not in stock at the store, that wouldn't be pissed off.

Coulda solved his own problem with some due diligence. If I'd driven an hour to get what he wanted, I'd have bought what they had and had them ship the rest. And maybe talked them into a discount. Make lemonade guys. Don't just be mad. Make the situation work for you.

Read the #1 and #34 post again, he did check their website.

75 gr?
What are you lobbing those things at?
5.56 was designed for 55gr I see 62gr but 75 wow.

1 in 7 twist shoots 75 and 77 gr quite well. They probably use 'em for deer in TX.

According to ammoseek, AE sells that 12ga buck for 150cpr, and SG sells it for 159cpr. Both ship free. You could've still saved $108 ordering it online from AE. Of course, an outfit called Ammo Hero sells it for 137cpr. Also ships free. I guess you showed AE by overpaying $264 for that buckshot.

Not sure what I'm doing this weekend, but fairly certain it doesn't include driving 110 miles round trip to buy $2600 worth of ammo without calling the store to see if it's in stock, instead of getting free shipping to my door. And then paying a lot more for the same order and having to get it shipped anyway.

Website is not a call to the store. And I am no kind of quarterback. No fan of nickel back either.

IBTL!

I knew of a member who committed to buy an item, which included delivery, that was listed for a church charity... Seller sold it to his neighbor at the last minute. So much for standing by a deal. Sometimes you wonder if classies have shades of the facebook market.

Mine are all 1:7 and the lightest I shoot is 62gr. Prefer 72 when I can find it decent.

Rich people only shoot rich people ammo.

Power to the people 55gr all the way. 1 and 7 can shoot anything.

if you want a shoot 55 grain, you shouldn't waste it on a 1:7 though. Lots of articles out there.

It'll shoot just fine, sure. But to really take advantage of the faster twist rate, it likes the bigger bullets.

How To Pick the Right Round For Your AR-15 Barrel

Among the plethora of numbers found in AR-15 spec sheets is a figure called “twist rate,” denoted typically by a pair of numbers in a ratio, such as 1:7. Twist rate is the ratio of inches of bullet travel down the barrel needed to rotate the projectile one full turn. In this case, the bullet...

Yeah I was stirring the pot.

I got one that’s a 1 and 8 it’s very accurate with anything.
The 1 and 7 does fine with 55gr it prefers 62gr.

When you go to a class that’s 400 rounds a day cheap 55gr all the way.

Now back to augment over online and brick and mortar stores!

I get the same results, 62 seems to be the sweet spot for my Colt.
It’s why I bought a couple thousand Sierra hpbt 62gr pojectiles several years ago.

Yeah, it really needed stirred. Not nearly enough drama going on in this thread yet.

Nope, not at all. Someone likes to be a huge prick for no good reason. My original comment to the OP was in good nature anyways. Love me some keyboard beta warrior.

Man, he just gave you some generally good life advice. No need to take it personally.

(Side note, did I just take Creedmoor's side on something? That feels like like a refreshing change... )
