Looking for best deal on .223/5.56 ammo

[hotrodtba]

I am going to need some ammo for my AR's soon and was wondering what everybody has been buying. Whats a good deal now a days. Looking for decent quality brass cased ammo. I still don't care to run Wolf through an AR. Thanks.

I have had good luck with these folks - you might have to wait until they get some in, the price is good - so is the service. It just takes time. http://www.southernammo.com/

That does seem to be a good price on .223. Any idea what shipping would be?

I just paid $2.97 a box (20 rounds) at cheaper than dirt.com

Thanks all, just sent off a shipping quote to the ammunition store for some of that Brit stuff in an ammo box. :)

Adios,

Note that that British 5.56 is underpowered.

From the Ammo Oracle (http://www.ammo-oracle.com/body.htm) (required reading on 5.56 ammo):

Q. What brands of M855 are available?

Again, Lake City and Winchester are the primary suppliers of M855. Winchester does not sell M855 commercially, though they do make it available to police departments.

IMI M855 is available from several sources and other foreign surplus ammo is available from time to time. Recent brands have been Santa Barbara from Spain, Sellier & Bellot from the Czech Republic and Radway Green SS-109 from England. It should be noted, though that the Radway Green ammo is underloaded specifically to function in their horrible L-85A (SA80) bullpup rifle and may not cycle in other rifles."

Lots of folks have absolutley no trouble with it, though.

I've been using Georgia Arms Canned Heat for a year now with no problems. I'm glad they are always at the local gunshow and have been able to buy 500 rounds for around $80.
