I need some inexpensive 223 rounds for some plinking. This is my first ar-15 and I have never bought bulk ammo before. I am basically looking for the cheapest stuff out there that is still safe to shoot out of my AR? I want to buy 1000 rounds. Thanks! Tenbrook Here is some stuff I found so far, is this about as cheap as it gets? http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Brown_Bear_.223_5.56x45_62grn_Jacketed_Hollow_Point.html Brown Bear $230 per 1000 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0022898215184a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=wolf+223&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=wolf+223&noImage=0 Wolf $270 per 1000 |

i'm new too, but someone somewhere gave me this web site: http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=.223 people post ammo deals from different sites. it shows the cost per round on the far right. i've gotten a couple of the 700 round Silver Bear cans and am happy with it. |
Why will I need to do allot of cleaning after shooting the cheaper rounds? Are they dirtier? |
There is a thread in here (AR15.com), somewhere, about this. Basically the steel case does not expand the same way brass does. A by-product of that is carbon and gases passing around the case and building up around the chamber face. It is not the lacquer or poly that could cause it to bind but the by-products of combustion. Buy some Hoppe's, CLP and a chamber brush and you'll be fine. Buy it, Shoot it, Clean it. my .02 |
