Good deal on 5.56NATO ammo...

Just got an email from cheaperthandirt...

Federal has really stepped up their production of the NATO round in the face of the recent demand. Various vendors have the 420 round cartridge case for sale at a good price. If my rifle wasn't a 223 chamber I'd be buying some but my gun won't properly chamber the NATO round.

 

even better deal $5.99 for a box of 20 rounds = $0.29 ea round <gets cheaper as you buy more cause you know you won't just buy 1 box.

cheaper than dirt's deal $11.19 for a box of 30 rounds =$0.37 ea round

 

Good find. Keep in mind the extra 8 cents in cost for the CTD deal is probably due to the ammo being packaged in the stripper clips. Either way everyone is winner

 

nice, thanks chris. i want to buy 1000 round some time in the near future. i'm looking into this.

 

I can do better than that, i load my 223 stuff for about 8cents a round!!
Crap, i guess i have to take into account my $1600 dollar Dillon press!! Well they will be that cheap some day, i better go shoot some more. Good thing i can load 3 to 4 hundred rounds in a hour!

 

if you were local i'd pay you to make rounds for me. i'd give you $0.16 a round.

 

Its illegal to load ammo for anybody but yourself, but who has to know right?

 

x2 I'd pay $.20 and pay shipping if you're interested!

 

exactly!

 

average shipping costs for 1000 rounds for almost anything (not including.22 and similar) is roughly $30-$35

 

Here is the beast, box says it can do 800 rounds an hour, but i like to watch it closely when running, i do about 100 rounds in 15 minutes. Every AR owner should have one of these. Sorry guys, if you lived in Montana, maybe I have my current friends come over and run there own ammo then i charge them for time on the press.

 

We must've posted at the same time! Damn!!!

 

I bought 500 rounds for 166 shipped a fee weeks ago

thats for federal xm193 5.56

 

Ammoman has the green tipped penetrator rounds by the can only - $.45 per round. Even if you buy $4200 rounds you're still only down to $.416 per round?

 

Where at?

 

Not all 5.56 is created equal. 1000 rounds of XM855 should cost a few cents more per round than XM193 as the former has a steel core and the latter is regular ol' lead. Just keep that in mind when you're buying your stockpile.

 

^^^ Nice Find!!!
