Good Morning Gents,
I’m looking to get some quality 5.56/223 ammo (without getting raped) for an upcoming Larry Vicker Class. I’m looking in the area of 2-3 thousand rounds delivered to Connecticut. Any suggestions??? Thanks for your help & advise.

You could try BH blue box from Kiser Ammo or PMC Bronze from the Armory.
If you in the vicinity of Danbury thirty minutes over the NY border is www.ammo4guns.com
The place I told you about it Southington, JoJo’s Gun Works has pretty decent deals on ammo.

Their description of PMC bronze is that it’s made to M193 spec… it really is not.
I have 11 900 rd cases left of 07 lake city production 5.56 ammo for sale $425.00
a case feel free to e-mail.If you want them all $400.00 ea case. tacticaledge@ctc.net

I purchased 1K of 5.56 from the Hunting Shack for the EAG class I just took. Delivery took longer than originally quoted, but the ammo was of good quality with zero failures of any kind and cost me about $260 delivered. That was ordered in like June or July, so I’m sure prices have gone up since then, but it’s worth a check.

It may not be, we have shot about 900 rds between 3 of us. None of us have had any problems. Take it for what it is. These days its tough to know what ur really gettn.
True! If you run it thru carbines it should be fine… and that’s what most of us shoot. I’d certainly run it for a class if it was priced good.
But it does short stroke in rifles. GotM4 mentioned this… I didn’t believe him. So I tried a few boxes, and he was right.
I disagree, it said PMC right on the box so right there you know it was probably lower quality than Wolf. 
We sell PRVI M193 for $328 per 1K. This is very good ammo IMHO.

Hi Grant,
I just got a few cases up here in Connecticut for a mere $400 a case. Are you located near where LAV is going to be having his Low Light Class in Ohio in May??? Are you going to be there by any chance???
[b]Thanks

We are about 1.5 hours from where the low light class is being held. We will most likely show up if invited.

That’s Great. I hope to see you there.
Ammoman has XM193 in stock
Folks, I may regret this since I don’t have the cash for 1K right now, but with Grant’s flat rate $7 shipping you ain’t gonna beat that price anywhere. Especially since we’re talking 5.56 loads and not .223.
I saw that! The messed up part is that it is going for OVER TWICE what I paid for the XM193 that I have in my closet now. :eek:
When did you purchase it? It would be interesting to see what the price of gold was then. Today, it’s $890/ounce. It could just be a dollar thing instead of mere price gouging.
About a year or so ago XM193 was selling for 29 cents a round. Last March I bought XM193 at 39 cents per round. XM193 is now going for about 42 cents per round (for 1000 rounds at ammoman). On some of the auction sites XM193 had been selling for much more.
So there is clearly a price increase, but I would not say it’s gouging. I’m not an economist but I’d say availability and the cost of metals are still the driving issues.
