Brownells has Federal Lake City XM855 on sale plus they have dollars off and free shipping if you use the code. So 1000 rounds is only $284 to the door.
Sorry, I've been so busy the last few days I missed your post. I finally have a day off today.How are primers looking, Brian?
Did Prvi Partizan start exporting again after they stopped exports in July? I haven't hard anything about it since.Ammo manufacturers not available in the forseable future;
- Lake City
- IMI
any others?
I remember those deals. Those were flash sale deals and not the norm for that time. I bought the Midwayusa deal on IMI M855 for $260/1000. The average price during that period was around 33c/rd. Right before this Isreal ordeal broke out I seen several deals of brass 5.56 for 40c/rd. So really not a huge increase from 5yrs agoThis was a post I made 5 years ago today (FB memory that popped up.)
I haven't been caught short In many years. I'm gtg for a long time.5.56 now $550 per 1000. So how many got caught again short in their personal stock? History repeats itself, learn from it.
The problem is less a matter of stock on-hand and more a problem of training volume. Even with thousands of rounds stocked up, a couple hundred rounds down range here and there will add up. At some point you have to change training habits unless you’re banking on the ammo situation correcting itself. If you’re someone who only shoots a couple times a year then it doesn’t matter as much.5.56 now $550 per 1000. So how many got caught again short in their personal stock? History repeats itself, learn from it.
I’m right there with you. I just placed a very large primer and powder order from Grafs. I’ve got enough but enough only lasts so long.I haven't been caught short In many years. I'm gtg for a long time.
Just wish I had more primers though.
Whew, High volume shooting right now would be as expensive as buying pre64 winchesters every other week.I also shoot several times a week so my component usage is high.
Congratulations on the new .25 you are getting ready to buyI bought some extra ammo this morning before I woke up fully.
Later after I woke up fully and got some caffeine in me. I see in my list, with the other items.

Slight variation on the “ever buy a gun because you had the brass to reload” thread.I bought some extra ammo this morning before I woke up fully.
