Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Any difference between AE223 in boxes of 20 vs. AE223BK bulk ammo?
Posted: 6/17/2017 5:58:46 PM EDT
I've been purchasing AE223 for shooting matches. Sometimes I can find it in individual boxes of 20 in cases of 500. Other times I can only find the 1000 round cases packed loosely labeled AE223BK. Just wondering if it's actually the exact same ammo or not. The individually boxed stuff is all nice and shiny with do dents. The bulk is much less shiny and has some dents.

Watch for popped primers.

Boxes are at higher risk of catastrophic failure.

Send it to me for safe disposal and live a long life.
