Okay, so my order for Wolf .223 from SportsmansGuide has been delayed yet again. This is the third or fourth delay since I placed my original order in April. Interesting, because I placed an order for the Guatemalan ammo from AIM Surplus yesterday, and got the email notifying me it shipped today!!

I guess surplus ammo is better than NO ammo, right?

My online order status still says ship date 6/30/06.

Received a snail-mail letter from SG on Tuesday that says Ship Date 6/30/06.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.  Hopefully a shipping confirmation.

... a few weeks ago...
Um..... we're not talking about Ammo pricing/shipping from "a few months ago" - - we're talking about the over-burdensome increases in the past month to buy ammo!!!

I don't consider .18/rd expensive for military grade ammo given the current situation with ammo prices...

I just ordered a 1440 case of Guat that is scheduled to be delivered today

With what Wolf is going for now these days I no longer see it as a deal.  Georgia Arms canned heat is a much better option for plinking ammo.

When Wolf was half of brass cased ammo it was a steal but the 4MOA accuracy and the filthy barrel extensions after shooting aren't worth it.

Wolf can still be found for less than $3.50/box and 55gr HP is sub MOA accurate at 100yds.

Guat M193 is not "cheap" at 17c per round, but for NATO-spec ammo you can't beat it (at current pricing).  I haven't seen any M193 spec ammo for less than $200-220 per case.

Ahhh,,, another "expert".  Go ahead and keep buying Wolf, thats your choice but I will keep buying milspec quality ammo that is a good bargan at current prices.

I give my weapons nothing but the cheapest commercial made ammo I can find I'd shoot lacquered coated steel cased 5.7x28 in my PS90 if they were available

But if Wolf is more than 14c/rd, I'll look elsewhere.

The UPS man just dropped off 300rds of Wolf .223 and a bunch of AE .223 to me about an hour ago from Sportsman's Guide :)
