Any idea what is considered a good price for 1,000 rds of 5.56 ammo?
Really depends on what 5.56 your looking for ?
Brass cased FMJ seems to be running from 28-47 cents per round depending on where and manufacture
55gn FMJ seems to be a lot cheaper than 62 grain.
I personally don't like 62 grain stuff regardless of who makes it. It's not very accurate and I rather pay less for the 55 grain stuff. Then there's steel cased stuff for even less.
I've never found any M855/SS109 steel core 62gr ammo that was particularly accurate - not that the milspec on that ammo requires it to be.
I have had very good results with 62 gr Hornady FMJ and Barnes Tac-X. It's not the bullet weight, it's bullet & ammo construction that matters for accuracy.
