AIM had the Radway Green for $169 per can of 720 a few weeks ago. I posted it here and noone took notice. TOS didn’t even have it on their list when I looked.
I noticed but it was all gone when I tried to order.
I’ll post it here because I know the ammo whores would buy it up @afr ![]()
Its not talked about much, but the Federal 50gHP in the 200 round value pack is very good suff. My recent batch is LC05 brass, crimped primer, canuelure pill with a big hole HP. Oddly enough I’m getting great groups with RRA Wilson barrel 1/8 SS . rated fps is 3400
Oh, the cost is 52.00 per value pack from you local shithole walmart. 260 per 1K is really good current prices for very decent ammo.
But don’t tell the whore @ arf ![]()
I wish I’d sold my plasma or other bodily fluids to get more of the “grade 2” Guatemalan IMG M193 that www.aimsurplus.com had for a good price a few months ago. The first case of 1440 rounds was the most corroded, crusty stuff I’ve ever seen (worse than any of the photos published on AR15.com), but it all fed and extracted fine. I had exactly one (1) failure to fire somewhere before the 2000 round mark (a second case got mixed into my magazines during that time). Zero problems since then.
I won’t tell them if you don’t!
05 brass and big HP sounds great. 50 is light but a 1/8 shouldn’t be too tight for it, should it?
you would think its to light for 1/8 but I guess I’m lucky with my combo. I also have cloned MK262 match reloads what work really well ![]()
The Federal 50gr HP stuff is great, I got some at Walmart awhile back but here in AZ they havent got any more in? I shot some Remingtom UMC at the range today I got a bad batch and need to contact them tomorrow, the rounds were barely crimped and the projectile would collapse back into the case on a few rounds. I had a hell of a time getting one out of my newly returned M&PT also.
correction, be sure to check the box for LC brass. I bought three and one of the boxes used FC 223 Rem brass ![]()
Bass pro shops in Charlotte (Concord) NC had green box UMC 55gr for $4.99 a box on Sunday and with a 10% off sign above it.
I snagged a “few” boxes. ![]()
I’ve bought two Federal “Value Pack” boxes and approximately the same amount of the American Eagle version. Both were mainly FC 223 brass with some LC 04, 05, and 06 cases. I’m guessing Federal’s using whatever brass it has lying around to load it.
After the Federal, the best available locally is the Winchester USA 45gr JHP’s in 40 round boxes and the Remington UMC 55gr FMJ. I tried the Remington 45gr JHP’s but had several out of spec rounds, some extremely hard primer’s on a couple of rounds, and extremely poor accuracy out of three boxes out of three different lots.
I’ve been buying Black Hills and Ultramax 55 fmj’s every week 1 or 2 boxes of 50 at a time. It’s not cheap but if you buy it little at a time, it don’t seem as bad as when you shell out $300 at a time…
…I just ordered some Georgia Arms and will try some of that this spring, this is my first order from them and am curious about it since all the kaboom talk…
What some of these dealers are charging for surplus is just plain robbery and am glad I bought a couple of thousand of XM193 when I did and then I only paid $74.95 per 500 case…
Remember curiosity killed the cat and it just might kill your AR as well.![]()
I had a bad batch of Remington UMC 55hr this weekend. The projectiles were not properly crimped and wwould either fallout or go back into the case. It took me a half hour to get one of those suckers out of there. Im still trying to get ahold of someone at Remington but keep getting the run around.
There is always that possibility, but I doubt it…You take your chances with just about any ammo you buy anyway…
Well, my 500 rounds of Georgia Arms came Friday, so will probably shoot some this coming week. If you don’t hear from me again, I am probably in the hospital suffering from a Kaboom…

I can’t find the Federal 50gr HP 200 value packs anywhere down here. When I asked the lady servicing the ammo counter about it, she looked at me as if I had spoken to her in Chinese.
I ended up picking up several boxes of 9mm WWB for my Glocks instead…
Please do share the info if anyone spots these in S. Florida. ![]()
I just picked up 4 cases of AE 55hr fmj for 4.99 a box and hope I can find more.
That’s a pretty good price for AE, not bad at all…
Why fool around with GA when you could buy HSM? They sell good “range” ammo (reloads) and I think they also sell a mil spec M193 clone with crimp. Prices are reasonable too. I haven’t heard of any Kabooms with thier stuff & their customer service is pretty decent too.
PaulSantos knows more about them.
Not much difference between them in my experience.

There are accounts of failures posted on ARF and other sites.
Yes, there customer service is indeed good.
