Mail order XM193 5.56 Ball

[rick.benjamin]

Found a new source (to me) for XM193 5.56 Ball
IMI-Ammo.com
Ordered 600 rounds @ 60 cents each UPS ground. Shipping included in per round calculation.

My club DRRC doesn't allow any steel tipped ammo, test with a magnet.
XM855 (green tip) is steel tipped under the copper gilding.

Wow, what a deal at 60c per rd.

 

[BostonGuns58]

Just ordered some pmc .223 at .40 a rd free shipping

.60 a round??? What the hell? I haven't paid that much since last December.

It can be had almost anywhere now for .35-.40 a round. You way overpaid.

I bought some 62 grain 5.56 last week for .40 a round.

 

[rick.benjamin]

Any links to this cheap no-steel ammo?

 

[mikelawtown]

also dont trust the Magnet test. It will also stick to the tip of a Tula steel case but the Tula has a Lead core not steel..
I bought 500rds of Herters/Tula 223 for 144.00 at cabelas. shot 120rds last week and had 0 issues with it.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

That's a great price at .60c a round.

Palmetto State Armory has some right now for .40 a round.

 

[mikem317]

I haven't paid over $0.50/round for .223 or 5.56.

 

[[cerberus]]

It is cheaper for the 1200 case (~0.49ea), not sure what shipping is though. I am not making an account to find out.

 

[xtry51]

I've never paid over $0.30/rd. When it went over $300 I started reloading. Even now I can buy stuff to reload 1k M855 or M193 at ~$250/1k.

Anything over $0.40/rd is highway robbery.

If you're in MA, which it looks like you are, you are not allowed to post places that will ship ammo to MA.

Yeah I get that I was thinking more of a PM.

Ok, well just letting you know either way.

Thanks I do appreciate the info, truth be told I wasn't 100% sure about that

They are watching ! And there could be rats on board !

No. There are rats on the board. Feds as well.

I was at cabelas the other day and they had 193 20pks for 9.99 and PMC .223 for 8.99. Unless you are filling multiple carts then they had more than what you are looking for. At .60rd that sucks and even the cabelas prices sucked. Thankfully they had 91/30s for $130 which made it worth it.

With what happened in the groupbuys.....I don't think it's "could be"

 

[Wicked1911]

Is $7.99 for a 20 round box of Federal american eagle .223 a good price?

 

[xtry51]

$0.40/rd is a decent price for quality brass ammo if you haven't started reloading yet. That the cheapest I've seen anything but steel cased.

Cool, just picked up 1000 rounds

 

[ntomsw]

.40 a round is really good right now unless you are reloading.

I haven't seen it much cheaper than that.

Yeah they had Tula for 5.99 a box of 20 but I never heard of that brand. So I thought I would stick to a good brand that I know.

 

[xtry51]

Tula is steel cased, which some people don't like. I've got no issue with it if you're using it within 100yards or so. It's not the most accurate ammo out there (2-3 MOA), but it is cheap!
