| They told me they were expectiing a shipment of .223 in the next week or so. They are selling a mix of military surplus from US, Belguim, and Portugal. Anybody ordered from them before and know if the stuff is any good. It's $105/1000 rounds. |

About a month ago I ordered 1,000 7.62x51 rounds for $109 plus like $27 shipping. At the same time I ordered 1,000 5.56x45 rounds which were backordered for $105 plus approx. $17 shipping. I received the 7.62 4 days later and it was awesome. Approx. 2/3rds was Israeli while the other 1/3 was Winchester. I did have a few Italian and FN but very few (10-20 rounds of each). Super nice ammo for blasting. Ran 140 rounds through my dept's M14 and not a single problem. Received a total of 1,004 rounds I received the 5.56 last week (after about two weeks). I had approx. 800 Israeli while the rest was Winchester. I again had a few oddballs from FN and one round of .223 R-P (Remington). Received a total of 1,001 rounds. I'd say for the money, if you want some military surplus for blasting and have some patience, put it on backorder and get a surprise from UPS a couple of weeks later. dpmmn has more experience with them as this was my first order after giving in to his recommendation. He can probably give you some better time-frames. Scott |
| I have used both the .223 and the .308 and love them both. The only problem I have is keeping it around because it works so well out of my rifles I tend to shoot it up pretty quick. About a month ago my son was in town and we fired all 1K rounds of .223 I had on hand. No ammo related problems at all. I have run across a few bad rounds when inspecting them, but it is well worth the money. IMHO, buy as much as you can afford. |

They were back ordered on .223 for months on end, so when they finally had some in July I ordered 7000 rds to play with so I don't have to blast the good stuff. I had the ammo in 1 week and it is mostly Tzz (Israeli military) dated in the 90's, with a few USGI rounds from the 70's. Looks super clean (been through a tumbler, I suspect) and for the price, I am happy with it. A few weeks after I got mine, the were out of stock, once again. At that price point, you've got Wolf, Barnual or this mixed IMI. Since I prefer brass cased ammo, that's what I went for. When/if they get more, I will probably order more. (I'm set for life in .308, so I haven't tried any of Southern Ammo .308). |
I have them hit my check card right away, that way I dont forget about ordering it and then get a $400.00 hit on my checkbook a couple weeks later |
