I knew you’d come to your sensesHa! I didn’t buy it, but now your link has me thinking...
What platform you using for these strippersIf I needed some - I'd buy this:
Federal American Eagle 5.56mm XM193 Ammo 55 Grain FMJ 420 Rds on Clips
I like the ammo can.
I don't like "THOSE" type of strippers.What platform you using for these strippers
any 223/556 thats priced under .25/rd shipped will go quickly.44 cases left
This stuff goes fast.
with the money you save buying the AE stuff and rebate you can buy several ammo boxes!If I needed some - I'd buy this:
Federal American Eagle 5.56mm XM193 Ammo 55 Grain FMJ 420 Rds on Clips

Right but still ATK/NG runs the LC plant ....where most of the ammo is made..... Dont know if the new plant in ohio is running yet?Iirc, ATK split, with their consumer related half (CCI, Federal, etc) becoming Vista and the other half becoming ATKGlobal, which was bought by Northrop Grumman.
Looks like after rebate the 5.56 would come to about 29 cents per round (if you are a Prime member). If you compare that to four cents less for the Wolf (showing as 25 cents each for me), you're spending about $16.80 for the ammo can, stripper clips, and spoon plus any perceived difference between .223 and 5.56 XM193 (FWIW on ArfCom many are reporting Wolf Gold is more accurate than XM193).with the money you save buying the AE stuff and rebate you can buy several ammo boxes!
If you can find it for $139 that’s good.My rifles enjoy the Federal XM855 in 62-grain flavor, so I picked up a 420/can on strippers for $139.95
With the rebate of $21 bucks ($0.05 off per round, 420 x .05 = $21) that brings the price down to $118.95 a can or $0.28/round, on strippers, with spoon and a new mil-spec ammo can.
Phenomenal price...
Interestingly, the 62 gr is 128.75 for prime, whereas the 55gr is 143.52.If you can find it for $139 that’s good.
Although TSU non prime price is $156
Interestingly, the 62 gr is 128.75 for prime, whereas the 55gr is 143.52.
So, as a Prime member, the 62gr is now working out to be half of a cent more expensive per round than Wolf Gold after rebate, plus the can, plus the clips and spoon.
Prime Prices:
62gr = 128.75 / 420 = 30.6 cpr - 5cpr rebate = 25.6 cents + ammo can + strippers + spoon
55gr = 143.52 / 420 = 34.2 cpr - 5cpr rebate = 29.2 cents + ammo can + strippers + spoon
Wolf 223 = 25 cpr (no extras)
So for the 62 gr you're getting the can, strippers, and spoon for $2.52 compared to buying straight Wolf Gold...I think I'll grab one, actually.
The 62gr is steel penetrator, though, so don't use it with steel plates.
It's more about the weight than the steel penetration for most people. For many, the heavier grains work better in their barrels, esp. 1:7 twist etc. Many target shooters use 77+ gr projectiles.I thought about getting some steel tipped stuff but unless I was in an “Escape from New York City” event why would it be needed? I love the jacketed stuff hollow point or otherwise for its effect on organic matter. I intend to hit the range next week with some large veggies or fruits for good ‘ole fun.
If you can find it for $139 that’s good.

Now repeat after me, Never enough ammo!, never enough ammo!"You have enough ammo...You have enough ammo..."

I now regret not getting the Prime membership 13 or 14 orders ago. The savings would have probably bought a box of this for free, but I kept telling myself:
"You have enough ammo...You have enough ammo..."
World's worst mantra...

My guns won’t go hungry although it will be a while before I can stock up some more. My dad taught me long ago to keep plenty on handFriends don’t let friends let their guns get hungry. Let me know what I can give you for a mystery box to your door.
Ha, I actually asked for it for Father's Day, but ended up shelling out on my own.i asked for TSU prime for xmas, did not get it. Probably worked out best as im starting the year broke an with unexpected debt...
I have a feeling they made an addendum based on customer feedback just recently.So, I was checking out the benefits of joining TSUSA Prime Membership and this last line caught my eye:
"Free Mystery Ammo Box
- During the 3rd quarter of the first year of your membership, you will receive free ammo based on purchase history!"
So there have been more than a few saying that they got "mystery" ammo that doesn't coincide with any firearms they own, or past purchases they've made.
Is this the case?
