Is PMC one of those companies that acquires ammo from different countries? I seem to remember buying some a few years back made in South Africa???? It was good clean stuff.
korean I think and it is clean and accurate

PMC Bronze is also brass that you can reload, unlike most of the Russian ammo
If you don't want to reload, check Herter's at Cabela's. Free shipping if you buy $150 (almost anything, not just ammo), but it ends today. The steel-cased Herter's is $4.99/20-rnds, for either 5.56/.223, or 7.62x39.

I live in Bel Air and they want 29.50 shipping so Palmetto at 299 per thousand and 12 dollars shipping is still cheaper.
Thanks for posting another source though... good to know when Palmetto is out...
btw... PMC is Korean and very clean excellent ammo
bought some lake city in chantilly $300/1000.. so i guess i didnt do wrong w/ that purchase..

+1 on Palmetto... I like it cuz they have a decent selection at good prices to mix-and-match with. Usually order a decent amount of Range ammo (either m193 or PMC Bronze) and throw in a sleeve of Prvi HP's per order. $12 shipping per 1000 is also about as cheap as i've found anywhere.

Grrr.
The PMC cases I've reloaded were a pleasure to work with. Nice brass.

They have 990 rounds of SS109 on sale for $250.00 but don't say who the manufacture is. Any one ordered this yet and is it any good? The price is hard to beat at $275 shipped for brass cased boxer primed SS109.

Lake city brass Federal 5.56 1k/311.50 shipped. http://palmettostatearmory.com/500.php
Seems like ammo went back up in the last couple months. I got the federal 5.56 for 300 shipped and the Herters(Tula) from cabelas for 189.50 shipped in January. I though ammo prices were supposed to be going DOWN.

What do you all think about the 20 cent difference. would the 5.56 vs .223 make it worth it.?

I've shot 100's of each of those two. I've found them to be about equal accuracy-wise, but the 55 gr was hitting 2" -3" or so below the 62 gr at 200yds for same point of aim. You can't go wrong with either one.

They are different rounds for different calibers (barely) w/different uses.
If you wanted a higher velocity 5.56 target round, then get the m193. Palmetto has about 3-4 different kinds for right around $6/box.
I dont think you'll notice that much of a difference between the 223 vs the 5.56 in shorter range target practice, but you can always get a few boxes of each and run your own tests. Thats the good thing about Palmetto State. You can mix-and-match up to 1000 rounds for the same $12 shipping.
