I know some of 'yall are having trouble finding low priced ammo for the 5.56x45 (.223).

I don't know anything about this ammo so, I leave it to you to decide. Seems like a pretty good price:

"Prvi Partizan Ammunition 5.56x45mm (223 Remington) M193 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Case of 1000 (50 Boxes of 20)"

MidwayUSA - Prvi Partizan Ammunition 5.56x45mm (223 Remington) M193 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Case of 1000 (50 Boxes of 20)

Same thing, different supplier:

Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC

These look to be corrosive ammo. If you want steel ammo, buy the kind that point out that they are NON-CORROSIVE.

Corrosive ammo is fine, but you need to take extra efforts and be very thorough when you clean.

Here are some other types for similar price:

(SEE PRICE BY CLICKING PULLDOWN & SELECTING QUANTITY)

BRASS, FMJ ($30 more)
Cabela's -- Bulk .223 Remington Ammunition - 55-Grain FMJ

Wolf, Non-Corrosive, $100 cheaper:
Cabela's -- Bulk Wolf .223 Remington Ammunition - 55-Grain FMJ

Those are both non corrosive, and brass cased ammo.

Either looks good. You can find stuff cheaper, but I've heard good stuff about the Prvi Partizan stuff

[evilblackrifle]

This is excellent stuff. Good price too.

*edited to add - And if you need mags, this is a really good deal.

MidwayUSA - AR-Stoner Magazine AR-15 223 Remington 30-Round with Magpul Follower Aluminum Matte

As far as the price on the ammo at those links, kind of the going rate for it isn't it? Then add in S&H, well?

I can only hope either of the 2 dudes that called buy my '73 dodge charger (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE lol) or my motorcycle sells (should with the cost of gas and the gas mileage it gets), so I can use some of that cash and buy a decent premium grade reloading starter kit. Reduce the cost of not only .223 but a few other rounds as well.

Yea, that's the way to go. Years ago, I got into the SKS/AK/Mini-30 mode and bought the dies for reloading 7.62x39. Found out it was cheaper just to buy mil surp. Glad to have that on hand now even though I bought up 1,500 rounds of it.

I bought a Savage in .223 and have not gotten the dies for relaoading them for the same reason. Now, with ammo prices on mil surp jumping so much, I might add on the dies, powder, bullets for the .223 just in case.
