| Have heard good things about the Federal AE223 white box ammo.....but can't find it anywhere? Can anyone tell me who has it in stock at a fair price? Phone numbers or websites much appreciated. Thanks for the help. |

The Federal American Eagle is great ammo and is widely available.....but it doesn't come in a white box. It's packaged in red boxes with an eagle on one side. You can get this stuff from just about any place that sells ammo, but I will leave you a couple of websites that has it: www.sportsmansguide.com www.natchezss.com You might also look around at Wal-Mart as well. They may have some of this on hand, as they stock a wide variety of .223 FMJ loads. |

Some older AE was in white boxes with a large eagle on the front. Most of this ammo I remember being foreign made ammo that Federal was trying to bring to the American market. I don't think the endevor lasted too long. The last I saw was Norma ammo. What is the head stamp? If it has not been repackaged, it is most likey old (early 80's) and European made. I have never seen it in .223 though, but that does not meen it wasn't made. |

I agree with the previous posts that the Federal American Eagle, I have used the red box stuff, is good ammo. However, the drawback for the reloader is that the brass is very soft with a thin web area. Generally considered unsafe to reload unless you go through extrodinary measures to verify primer pocket fit. Ryan |
