Possibility of a Group Purchase of 5.56 Bulk Ammo?

[varasha]

So what do we have to do to make ammo ourselves? How much are the tools, and what do we need to raw materials. How "raw" so we want them, can we save money by refining ourselves?

All these questions are getting more and more interesting....

Also, i'm in for at least 5k rounds when this goes down.

im in if the price is right. be great if it was m855, but id be happy with 193 type stuff too (or anything that does not require my left kidney)

 

[Icarry2]

I am in if the price is reasonable, frankly $400 per 1k is about as high as I want to go and depending on the timing I could be in for 3-4K.

Any new updates on this? Im in for 2k rounds now.

 

[4GvnSnr]

I'd be in for 1-3k depending on details

 

[Jeremy1066]

A little late, but I would be in for at least 2K if around $300/K

 

[achilles]

Interested. 1K if in the $300 range

 

[jabbett]

I am interested in 1K.

I prolly duplicated Underground's efforts, (hey, I'm retired ) but I just compiled a spread sheet: $225K from 73 individuals, plus a list of another 27 folks who are "interested" pending further details.

Looks like we are half way to that magic 500K mark.... if, that is indeed the magic number for access to the best pricing.

Thanks Underground....I know this is taking a lot longer than anticipated. I know some members are getting antsy and impatient. I for one, am in for the long haul. I'll just follow your lead: and if I need to double down my pledged amount... I will do so. Just my

Nice work! I have not updated lately.
I personally intend to get as much as I can buy, between $3k and $4k worth.

Thanks for the running total.

Nice Sig, aaron580!

We need true patriotic candidates!

 

[phatgemi]

When did you order these?
Good Price!

Sorry for delay in responding. I ordered on Jan 5th immediately after receiving email saying it was in. I did not receive until this past week. They did advise extra processing time. I was nervous until I actually had it.

I heard they sold 5000 in about 24 minutes.

Thanks for the running total.

Current totals: 240K from 79 individuals, with an additional 27 people interested.

I haven't chimed in yet personally. Possibly 6K here.

I can source remanufactured, reloadable brass cased 55 gr FMJ-BT for $320/1000 as is. I'd want to see damn near $300/1000 in a group buy of 25K+, but I've got enough on hand to hold me through until it comes back down, so that's just my opinion.

where can you get it that cheap i cannot find any at all

 

[oldad]

i would take 1000 for $300

 

[DemolitionMan]

I would also take 1k at $300. Depending on the timing I might go for more.

 

[aaron580]

so is the line we are trying to reach 250k or 500k?

 

[undeRGRound]

Whatever we can get Aaron.

Some mfg's used to do special orders @ the 500,000 level, big discounts, but
now it seems everyone is busy selling everything they can turn out, as fast as possible.
Due to F-Stein and Co.'s stupidity. Politicians irk me, LOL!

Thanks for the work, SkyWired!

Lads, be aware that most of the wholesalers now are allocating quantities of ammo in .223, 9mm, .308 Win. and 7.62x39mm. In other words, these and several other calibers are being dribbled out to the stores regardless of whether the stores want to order large quantities. Of all the common calibers, .223 is by far the least available.

Thanks, Pal. Seems you are correct, from everything I have seen online and locally.
