Alright everyone a local gun dealer has PMC and Wolf .223 20rd boxes for wolf is $7.99 a box and the PMC is $8.99 a box.
So which would you buy? Thanks guy’s for all the great info to. I love this site.
If the choice is only between those two buy the PMC.
You can factor about 8-10 cents per round out of the PMC due to the value of the brass if you were to sell it to a reloader. :eek:
That makes the PMC the better value eh?
WOW…Wolf steel cased garbage for $7.99 a box…I just bought 30 boxes of Federal XM193F Lake City 2008 production for $6.99 a box.
The XM193 was on sale at a local department store for $6.99…but it was supposed to be a four box limit per customer. The gal at the checkout said I could have as many as I wanted, so I went back to the sporting goods dept. and got 26 more boxes!!:D:D
Sorry for highjacking your thread…in regards to your situation…I would definitely get the PMC. I do not care for Wolf.
You may want to buy a case of wolf online. That should run you about $5/box
For just plinking Wolf is fine.
To all those who think wolf will ruin your bbl/chamber. Well, in 2000 rounds I’ve saved enough to buy a brand new bbl.

Where are you getting the ammo from? I really want to start reloading. But even reloading is expensive to get started…
Where is the best place to buy ammo? Also what ammo do reccomend? Thanks again.
Sportsmansguide.com is a great place to get ammo. Some of the best in the Hornady TAP. If you have a 5.56 chamber, get the Federal m193 ball with the Lakecity brass for plinking or all around decent but cheap ammo.
Wolf is crap. Avoid it like the plague.
Cool I’m glad I didn’t buy the wolf. I bought a few boxes of the PMC 55gr to see if I like it, and to see how dirty it. I’ve been seeing a lot of people using the federal m193 ammo.
I am seeing Wolf for $17.99 a box. If you know of places that have it for $5 a box, by all means let us know.:eek:
Thats CRAZY. I can get boat tailed hollow points for that.
speaking of bthp
A few months ago somebody ran a special $240 for a case of wolf 65 gr boat tailed hollow pt. I grabbed 2 cases. Its certainly not going to be my primary self defense or shtf ammo, but it is better than 55gr fmj
To the OP: You’re local gun shop is trying to gouge you.
I hate to refer somebody to TOS, but if you’re looking for ammo, then this is a good place to start:

PMC is what I use in my ARs and save the Wolf for my AKs. ( Both .223) Oh,
Hello everybody ! I have been a lurker for a while. Very nice forum yah got here !
You will realize that the PMC has a funny smell when fired. My personal favorite for plinking and reloading is 55gr Privi XM193. Make sure you get a primer pocket tool to help chamfer the crimped primers. The best you can get I think is the Lake City 62 gr. ss109.
I’m curious as to which dept. store. The only department stores I can think of that carry ammunition around here are Wal-mart and K-Mart and they’re usually out of anything good. AFAIK, they never stock XM193.
Surplus Ammo was just selling PMC at $364 per 1000 shipped. $7.28 per box to your door.
They are probably out but I would call to make sure.

I bought 10 boxes of federal xm193f anoka mn, for 9.99 per box for 20 rounds.
Yeah it seems like the prices have been going up. I would love to buy th M193 ammo. But finding a place that is cheap enough, so I don’t feel like I just got boned. Thats the big problem.
Todays boning is tomorrow’s deal.
I remember feeling like I overpaid for a Colt when I paid $800 for it a few years back.
Ok, I’ll make you a deal on the Colt, I’ll give you $1100 for it…
