Just so everybody can see what the facts are, I did a little research........
From CMPs website (note that the CMP is selling remanufactured ammo) [b]NLU 424 - Black Hills .223 77 Grain Match, Sierra bullet, [blue]Reman[/blue]ufactured, 500 rd case Qty: Price: $225.00 GROUND Shipping $10.42[/b] From GPSSs website [b]D223R9 .223 Rem. 77gr Sierra Match King HP 2750fps [blue]Re-man[/blue] - 500 rnds $229.00 D223N9 .223 Rem. 77gr Sierra Match King HP 2750fps 1293ft lbs [red]New[/red] - 500 rnds $297.00 [/b] GPSS states that shipping on 500 round lots is about $8 per 500 rounds on the special run ammo. Here are some of the "special" features of the special run... Quoted: DevL, If stored in an ammo box it will store - I had the same idea for this stuff. The idea is to get 2750 ('ish) out of the 16". Cost 1) [red]It is above SAAMI pressure[/red] so from my limited understanding of some of your states tort and liability laws - well they have now exceed the stated industry limits you do the math. 2) [red]BH is a military contractor - they cannot sell to us at a lower price than they do to Uncle Sam.[/red] 3) [red]This is a special run for us.[/red] Quoted: [b]UPDATE!!![/B] I talked with Black Hills today. The samples are being loaded today with shipping before the end of the week. Results will be posted here, once they are available. They will be loaded with the [red][b]77 gr NOSLER HPBT with a Cannulure.[/b][/red] Velocity should be around 2700 fps with a 16" barrel, 2780 fps with a 18" Bbl and 2900+ with a 20" barrel. [red]They will be loaded with NEW, 855 SPEC Brass[/red] which is thicker and more consistent in the web area. This is a [red]True NATO pressure loading with a primer sealant and crimped primers.[/red] This is a [red]CUSTOM Load for GPSS to our SPECS[/red] and will be packaged in a WHITE Black Hills Box with Lot DATA and pertinent information. [b]Pricing[/b] [list] 500 Rounds is the minimum order. 500 Rounds $299.00 Plus shipping. Depends where you are but will be around $8.00 to most places in the CONUS. 1000 Rounds $589.50 w/FREE SHIPPING in the CONUS. [b]Ordering[/b] All orders must be PREPAID. Any CC, MO, Personal Check or PAYPAL w/ No Upcharges. All Orders must go thru GPSS. [/list] We will start taking orders now at: [email protected] and 888.741.8259 Toll FREE or FAX at 478.994.4560. Our PAYPAL account is at the email address above. Ammo should be loaded by BH and delivered to GPSS once the minimum requirements are met. This will be ONE LOT of the same components. Get your order in now. Any questions, I can be reached at one of the following email address or numbers above. Thanks, Tommy GPSS 478.994.4560 [url]www.georgiaprecision.com[/url] In conclusion, GPSSs prices are about the same as CMP. (Try calling up CMP and "ordering ammo! You have to fill out an application to get ammo!) Also the special run ammo is actually the same or cheaper then GPSSs/BHs normal prices. McBoing seems to have a good knowlage of military ammo and its components. Unfortunatly he lacks common social skills and the ability to present facts supporting his accusations. I think that Im going to get a case of this ammo!!! |

To whom, it may Concern:
[list] There are NO kickbacks to this site or to the moderators of any forum associated with this group purchase of Ammunition. This Ammo is $30.00 per 1000 cheaper than the same 77 gr New Manufacture ammo listed on our website and is Specially Priced for this group purchase. This loading is Per "Our Specifications" to Black Hills per the requirements posted in the group purchase thread. This is a 5.56 MM Loading in 855 Spec Brass that is not available on the commercial market. There will be 50,000 rounds available in this initial purchase. This ammo may be purchased from us again in the future if there is a demand for it. (Supply & Demand, the American Way). Make No Mistake; we are a "For Profit" Company. Our Margin is small on this purchase, but it is there. (You do not go to work every day for FREE-Do You?) There is a "Reason" that the other 77 Gr bullets with a cannulure are on the Surplus market, they are Not Overruns. Want to Guess Why? Sure, you could load this yourself at a savings. But, If you used ALL New Components, to the exact specifications, and paid yourself only $8.00 per hour for Load development, Chronograph, range, gun cleaning & maintenance time. Your reloaded ammo would cost you Way more than the $589.00 per 1000 rounds price here. I load and shoot in excess of 5000 rounds per year in High power competition all over the Southeast and at Camp Perry each year.(Since 1993). [/list] I can be reached at: 478.994.4560 if any one has questions concerning this purchase. Tommy Haskins-Owner-GPSS Distinguished Rifleman #1542 P-100 NRA Highpower Master Class |
