That’s a pretty good deal.

Widner’s also has a good deal going on: they have 1200 rd. cases of IMI XM193 for $319.99 plus shipping. With shipping, it ran me about $335.00.

The AE223 was on sale for $5.99 per box in the AZ store.

That’s a pretty good deal. One of the first online retailers that will ship to Hawaii at a reasonable price. Most won’t ship to Hawaii and those that do charge almost as much as the ammo itself. The best price I’ve seen locally for bulk 5.56 is $340 for 1000 Federal XM193. At that price difference, I’ll probably buy locally so I don’t have to worry about damage during shipment. But I will keep them in mind when I look for other ammo variety and future sales!

Or you could get genuine IMI M193 from Wideners.

Just got a case of this.

Sealed, crimped primers.

Sealed, annealed case mouth.

EXCELLENT quality, appears far better than XM193.

Haven’t shot it yet, though.

The IMI M193 from Wideners is great stuff. Never had a problem with it and been through over two thousand rounds of it.

Just ordered another 1,200 rds and got it for $277.50/1,000 shipped to my doorstep.

Best thing going IMO.

Can you tell us how you got that deal? Wideners website is showing $318/1,200 before shipping.

I’d like to know too, as I just bought a case of the stuff, and it ran me $335 shipped.

Sorry guys, there was an omission in my post.
The $277.50 is per thousand not for 1,200.

Still the best deal going for good quality 5.56 NATO 55gr FMJ.

Wow, that is a nice deal on the IMI 5.56.
