My 6920 should arrive on Friday and I am going to sight it in that afternoon and then go have a little more fun Saturday - but I need ammo!

I can't afford to buy a case right now even though I really want to

Realistically, what do you think I could get 150-300 rounds for... what price should I look for? (in price per round)

I got 1000 rounds(PMC Bronze) for $387 shipped from Palmetto State Armory about 3 weeks ago...I think it was a pretty good price. I would try to stay below  40 cents per round. I guess it really depends on what kind of ammo you want.

40-45 cents after tax seems to be what I am finding now (not in bulk).

Ray Tanner on Gunbroker had PMC .223, 1k case for $375.



Back about a year or so, I was picking up Remington 55gr FMJ at Bass Pro for about $60 per 200rds.

Aimsurplus has brown bear for ~$140 per 500.

If funds were tight and I just wanted blasting ammo, I'd get a half-case of Wolf from whoever had it - preferably AIM or Palmetto State Armory.

I'd also but at least 40 rounds of M193 (probably PRVI). Run 10 rounds through the rifle, then load the remaining 30 rounds into a magazine for home defense.

(If your rifle will run wolf, it'll run M193...)

Just scored 400 rounds of XM 193 at $79 per each 200 box. Now the worst part - waiting till Friday for my rifle to get here!

They get stuff in, but usually sells out with in a couple of hours. I caught some the other week, thought I would check back after I got lunch, it was sold out by then.

I was at the Riverview Fl. wall mart this am and they had a dozen boxes of 40 rd. rem at 27$ each.

I see a little bit more 223 showing up each day. Im stocked up plus reload so I dont buy it , but is is starting to come back around.

 All the ammo im sitting on I paid 20 cents or less  for. I think it now going for 40 cents a round or more
