I believe it was Ammunition Depot. The 1000 rounds for 299.00 is gone. They still have 50 rounds for 16.24. If anyone finds out anything about quality post somewhere. I just don't remember seeing this for sale anywhere recently.

I saw it recently offered somewhere, SGAmmo, I think.
I'd be very interested in seeing a review as well, please let us know how it is. |

I just ordered 1000 rounds of this from SG Ammo. I imagine it should be pretty good ammo. I'm looking forward to getting it in hand and taking some to the range.

This ammo is the best stuff out there. Ammo Depot blowing it out cheaper than PMC is crazy. This is the real stuff, the best of the best. (this is .40 cents per round ammo) It only comes around when FN screws up an order to a country's military. I bought 25k of belted FN a few years ago. This stuff once its gone it is gone. BUY, BUY, BUY.

I got my can yesterday.
I haven't shot any yet, but this stuff looks identical to GGG SS109, only difference is GGG is red on primer and FN is green. Immaculate brass, no dings or dents or filth on it. First class stuff, this isn't military rejects that was scraped off the floor somewhere. Get it while you can. |

For those of you that got some I'm glad you did. I have no skin in the game and don't shoot as much as I did in the past. I still like to compare prices and look for deals and pass them on when I find something.

They still have some without the ammo can. It's a smidgen more for a case also, around $0.32, but it's still available. 50 round boxes, so you only need twenty boxes to make 1000 rds. https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/2192-fn-herstal-556-m855-62gr-steel-core-penetrator-ss109.html |

Has anyone shot his stuff for accuracy yet?
Is it 2moa ammo or like XM855 at 3 or even 4moa? So far the most accurate SS109/M855 I have found is ZQI. |
