I haven't kept up with Winchester quality for a while, so I am not sure if these would still be considered a good deal.


Imo not great deal

Get IMI or pay a few cents more and buy AAC 77 otm



But if you are into M855, it seems like a pretty good deal, considering PSA Is selling the same 500 round box for $368 plus shipping.

Cool.  So you can get IMI at Midway for 53 cents a round when you include tax.  Or if you prefer Winchester, you can get that at Academy for 49 cents a round, assuming a 7% tax rate.

If you aren't educated enough to understand the benifets then save even more money and buy .223 instead of 5.56.

You stand to gain / lose a LOT through velocity with 55 grain fmj.  Fragmentation range and % (the extent of the fragmentation) is mainly effected by velocity.  You want more of it to maximize both.

Same with penetration through steel barriers and armor.

Not to mention flatter shooting, better for long distance.  That's like saying youbliterally gain / lose nothing with a longer or shorter barrel.  Literally gain nothing?

Got some of that, then IMI 55gr from Midway for $0.378 shipped for 1200.  Code WELCOMEBACK0624 gets 20% off or $100.  So it was $454 total for 1200.  Other codes might be 10OFF2324 or JAE062524 for less % savings.

Hey all, came here to vent from the flip side... I cannot sell my ammo even at prices I paid pre Covid. In 20+ years of ownership, I regularly thin the ammo pile as needed and this time nobody is buying anything at any price and I'm completely flummoxed by this. It took almost 3 months to sell an ammo can of Federal 62gr Green tips on stripper clips at .50 cents each. I've posted on Armslist, GunsArizona and now here and nothing.

Is there something wrong with my listings or pics or something? I'm selling unicorn ammo at what it cost me, you won't find it cheaper anywhere else (unless I've missed something).

Anyone else experiencing this? Or perhaps again maybe I'm not seeing something this year or understanding something in the market... I just don't know....

The closer we get to election time you have a better chance at selling it.

Not nearly as many people want 62 grain ammo at $0.50/round when you can regularly find blasting 55 grain at $0.42/round.
The people who would buy 62 grain buy it for a purpose or for a specific gun and probably shoot way less of it compared to the typical blasting ammo.

Also, pretty much every range with steel prohibits the use of green tip so even that will limit your buyers.

I was going to make a joke about silly ammo fads, but then saw the #1 buck and started nodding along.  Other people have silly ammo fads that don't mean a thing, my desire for certain ammo is a nuanced tactical decision.  Wish you were local.

Your market for the specialist ammo is smaller already, and then people who really want certain things have probably been around for a while, so they think in the old prices.  And they probably think you bought back in the good times too and that it's unfair to ask current prices.  E.g., Like me wanting more LE132-1B cases at $0.65 per round, but "recognizing the times" and willing to go up to $1/round or similar.  When I suspect your price is higher than that.
