Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone has found any decent 5.56 ammo finds on the net? All I can find is the junk loose box stuff and M855 for 8bucks/20.
Thanks
AMMO PRICE LIST Updated Thursday, February 15, 2007
Lots of XM193 52 gr. Expensive. Looks like kiser on arfcom EE has Black Hills blue box (remanufactured).
e mailed kiser and here was his reply about 55 gr Black Hills blue box - remanufactured.
“I have one case left…a fella backed out on the deal. It is $349/1000 delivered.”

Thanks for the link, I picked up 2 cases of reloaded Blackhills last week I wish I would of known your price Jim as I got it a few bucks cheaper but was stuck with tax making your delivered price a bargin.
Ammoman.com or Cheaperthandirt.com usually have some decent deals…
Ammoman wont sell me any M855, he says that ole military me dosent qualify as government personel??? It looks like what he has is loose turn-ins anyhow. Im trying to stock up on everything now since i might not be able to get it when im a civilian again?
Thanks
It’s against the law to sell military surplus ammo anyway. Ammoman shouldn’t have any actual surplus, unless it’s for LE use only. He may have QC rejects that were set aside prior to being sent to the government for inspection that he can sell to other than LE.
Actual 5.56 loads are extemely hard to come by as Uncle Sugar is keeping all the manufacturers busy producing for them. AIM Surplus had some SS109, I’m not sure if they still do. 30 cents a round is about as cheap as you’re going to get it, if you can find it.
I usually don’t share my ammo finds, but I may not be around to buy any and plus it’s not the greatest deal but…
About .23 a round but good ammo and a tad hotter than our own XM193 IMO.
Buy battle pack amounts only! If you buy individual boxes they give you the most corroded guat I’ve ever seen. The stuff that came in loose boxes was so bad that I ended up putting some of the Grade 2 Guat I bought from AIM for .14 a round in storage and shot the corroded stuff. The boxes in the battle packs were grade 1.
I might even pick up 3-4 more battle packs…

Some of the better deals I have found are at Gun Shows.
I pciked up 100 rounds of M193 at a show this weekend and today at a gunstore found the sealed top quality Lake City for 300bucks for 840rounds. Man this is expensive, but like a idiot I bought a can as well. They had 5 more cans but I had to resist.
I just ordered some Georgia Arms 223 55 gr. ammo packed loose in a ammo box for $120+$17 shipping for 500 rounds…not bad, not good pricing but this is reloaded ammo not surplus…this is 223 ammo loaded to SAAMI specs…
Becareful with Georgia Arms Canned Heat. Some people who post on GetofftheX.com have had kabooms with it. Tactical Response in Camden, TN. no longer sells or recommends it.
I thought that was in Glocks that they had the trouble with a couple of Kabooms…well, will find out soon as I just ordered 500 223’s from them…
Do a search in the Tactics and Training section of this board. There is a 3 or 4 page thread (with pics) of AR’s that have been blown up with .223 Georgia Arms .223 Canned Heat.
Stay away from Georgia Arms Canned Heat. In fact run, run like your hair is on fire. You will thank me later.
