Hope you're happy with Steel 5.56 the rest of your life

Unless a dealer gets in on a special deal from a distributor, or if you buy direct (I think 250k+/yr minimum for Federal?) the COST of brass cased 5.56 is nearly, if not over, $300/1000 currently. Even stuff like PMC.

I don't see it going down ever as inflation, oil prices, lead prices, demand, and steel prices continue to rise.

The cheaper than dirt deal was awesome. Had I seen it, I would have bought a bunch.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if it didn't go back down much. It usually seems to go up and down though. It went down a lot compared to the ObamaGunRush times, and now its on the rise again.

I have enough 5.56 stored but I'm not shooting it. Wolf is my friend.

Thanks for the link. I did a quick search into owners experiences and it seemed favorable so I ordered 500 rounds of 5.56 62 gr. Penetrator AP .

I was going to purchase XM193 but the prices shoot though the roof in the last two days. I know they say it's the elections but if I wait for the election to be over I'm sure the inflationary economy is going to dictate prices anyway.

PMC is Korean. If that matters to anyone. The stuff shoots OK IME.

I thought PMC was Serbia

PPU (Prvi Partizan) is Serbian.

PMC (Poongsan Metal Corporation) is Korean.

I've been ordering a lot from LuckyGunner lately... pretty happy with the service and everything listed is in stock, that convenience is great, don't have to hunt and peck for what you want.

A recent order was 250 rounds of Lake City XM855. The box came 8 rounds heavy and was delivered in 2 days. Every case, primer, projectile, and crimp was in great shape.

I also bought a few thousand rounds of reloaded .40 and the stuff is great near-full-power practice ammo at around $0.25/round. Plenty accurate at 30 yards.

PS I've been loving what PPU is making. When will a domestic manufacturer put out the same or better for that price?

luckygunner are you joking ? lol that place is a huge scam the only people that did more price goading then them was CTD last election

I'm looking a a box of PMC 223 55g FMJ ammo right now and it says made in Korea.

PMC is Korean. In the past some of their specialty ammo may have come from Europe. Prvi, the main Serbian ammo company, will make ammo on a contract basis, so PMC may have imported some Prvi made but PMC labeled ammo in the past. That ammo would have been labeled "Made in Serbia".

I've found some great deals on LG. Their customer service was also amazing when I had to deal with them after UPS left my ammo in the rain. Haven't really noticed their prices jumping much more than anyone else's this election cycle :shrug:

No, I'm not joking. Do I look like I'm joking?

What, am I funny or something? Funny how? Do I amoooz you?

Captnstabn · Sep 17, 2012

I never noticed their prices jumping either, they were just always higher than anywhere else.

Tactics · Sep 17, 2012

I try to avoid CTD as much as possible. I got a great price on FNP mags a few months ago, but the shipping was brutal, and things were being sent from different warehouses.
