The price is the only thing that sketches me out.
Makes me wonder if it's reloads in mil packaging, maybe stolen. Could just be overruns. Idk. But I would want to inspect the ammunition before buying, and maybe ask him about how he got it.
Also, I thought the stuff we can buy as civ's (and that I own) is just factory seconds? I was under the impression from B.H. it's the same exact round/load

It is the exact same round.
the MK 262 ammo "developed a cult following… so [in 2011] we started
offering it to the public. The only difference is the packaging — it is
the exact same ammunition as is delivered to the U.S. Military — loaded
to the exact same specs”. The commercial version is sold in black/red
50-count boxes labeled "5.56mm 77 GR OTM”. The exact same ammo is issued
to American war-fighters in 20-round, brown cardboard boxes labeled
"5.56mm SPECIAL BALL, LR MK 262 MOD 1.” - James Hoffman, President
