    American Eagle .223 ... any good?

    Local turners has the box of 20's for $5.99. How is this ammo? Good enough to go shoot and get to know the gun? How about zeroing a scope at 36 yards? Just got my AR and my aim sucks so I am just getting to know her. Thanks!

      I'll have to go get more!

      Good ammo though for a noobie to try and target shoot at the range?

            At $5.99 a box a 1000 rounds will cost you $300 which isn't too bad. I bought 500 rounds at the gun show for $180 and if I drive to Ammo Bros it is $189 per 500. So far this is the cheapest I have found ammo wise.

              I like AE, as it does not foul up my chamber as much as the white box stuff.

                It'll be fine for your purposes. Use the cheapest reputable stuff you can find.

                            I like the ammo. I have both AE223 regular and the NATO stamped rounds. Accurate and inexpensive. I have shot and have brass for over2,000 rounds and around 3,000 rounds ready to shoot in addition to some Federal Lake City 855 & another 1,000 Remington .223.

                            Don't rush to Turners the offer is only for 2 boxes maximum.
