29.99 for 100 rounds of 223 and free shipping with orders over $500.....or you can just order the box at $299.99 per 1k if you do not want to deal with the 100 round boxes. shipping is reasonable though


bulk 1k

$103 for 3 boxes. Not bad.

So if you spend over $500 free shipping!

how much was this stuff pre buying shortage? will it get cheaper than this?

[Spunger1]

There's been a couple of sites that had this on sale recently for $.33 shipped. If you get over the $500 mark it's a decently deal. Even at $.33 shipped it's not bad.

Good find! I have an older midway usa book from a few years ago and this was priced at $8.99 a box of 20. I'm guessing in the coming months there's going to be some great ammo deals. At least that's what I'm hoping for

Great deal!!! Thanks OP!

[Mega-Ken]

Let's all hope that ammo bill (Sb 53) gets killed - or we better start gettin what we can while we can...

I got into the 223/5.56 scene in 2009. If I recall correctly, 30 cents/round shipped is pretty close to the average brass 223 prices during the pre-shortage years. I remember buying the PMC Bronze at that price in 2010.

Tip - buy 10 boxes of the 100 packs. when I added the 1000 round pack to my cart, shipping jumped from ~$16 to $41!

I would spend a little more for something else, my rifles don't like this stuff. Every round had a mind of it's own and was all over the place. And it was the ammo because my problems went away when I switched to a different brand.

it was $299 shipped to your door for 1000rds. Then it went below that price for a little while then the panic hit. There are so many sales on 223 right now; it seems the bubble is loosing air pretty quickly. Might be some better deals in the near future.

I had a couple of .223 American Eagle cases tear apart during ejection. I had my gun and its chamber checked out and they were fine. I switched ammo brands and have had no problems since. I'm not surprised that the price of this is going down.

As others have mentioned, in 2011 (when prices hit their lowest), .223/5.56 could be had for a little under $300 shipped per case (1k rounds). This was for brass-cased ammo like Federal, PMC, PRVI, etc.

Steel-cased ammo like Wolf and Tula could be had for $200 shipped per case.

Cheapest price I got it for prepanic Sandy Hook was $285 Shipped for 1k PMC bronze. That was with a sale and calguns coupon code that they use to have. $300 was the norm, right before sandy hook they were going for $310 to $325 shipped. MFS zinc plated .223 were going for $250 shippied, and steel case were going for around $200-225 shipped. This is pretty normal pricing, I have a feeling prices will drop under $300 shipped within the next few months. .223/5.56 and anything ar related aren't selling anymore. Keep in mind pre sandy hook when I was building my AR15 there were no $80 complete BCGs or any where close to $100 NiB BCGs. How the times have changed.

These are bulk-packed. Good for plinking. Lousy for printing small groups.

They were priced at $250 - $300 per thousand before the 2nd ammo drought.
