Deal or No Deal?

[loony1]

For brass cased and American made, anything under.50 a rd. Is a fair price.

It's a little more then I would be willing to spend. I'd just keep my eyes open for it somewhere else, unless needed right away

Thanks for the info, all.
Also, am I to understand that "Ball" = "Green tip"?
And if I have it right, "Green tip" is light armor piercing because of the steel core?

Ball is just a Military Term. It just means that it FMJ for the most part (Geneava Convention prohibit hollow point) The 62 gr weight gives the hint that its probably 'green tip', which is how the military uses to ID the round. (Red tip, IIRC, is tracer)

Thanks, Stschil.

I saw a 1000 rnd case of American Eagle 5.56 62gr at Walmart in Anderson for $449 last week. I would'a copped it if it were closer to $400. I just got 1000 rnds from IGC for $.42/rnd (PMC Bronze .223).

Jet girl, go down the street to hillside or Zx. (Yes, I dared mention you should shop at the competition hehe) you can buy 1000rnds for $500 or less. No way is pay the same for brass as for ammo unless you plan to be the next highpower champion at camp perry...

I do actually go other places...And I had planned on going one morning next week to ZX. Never been there yet. I'm usually working when they're open and able to go when they are closed.

The red [STRIKE]velvet[/STRIKE] satin sheets is a nice touch.

 

[JetGirl]

That's just how I roll, Dawg.

 

[Fordtough25]

55 grain ammo is usually cheaper and works great, lake city, federal, etc... PMC .223 has always shot great for me as well and is cheaper!

 

[Stschil]

Lake City is good stuff. You must remember though, that the primers are crimped and the pockets needed to be swaged before reloading the first time. If your not going to reload, get steel cased wolf or Tula. It's cheaper, a little dirty, but most who use it for plunking don't mind.

Unless you are in an area that makes them charge tax, Target Sports has been very good to me. Price includes shipping.

I'll be making a trip down to ZX one morning next week to see what sort of AR goodies and ammo they've got.
