I'm thinking there has to be a source of ammo locally for a good price.

Ga arms canned heat has hit 190 per 1k which is insane in my book. Anybody know of better/cheaper supplies of ammo local?

NO, sorry but I just paid 259.00 for a K of q3131, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Looks like the good ole days are gone.

For blasting ammo Wolf is starting to look REAL good.  For quality stuff, get with JKiser and buy some Black Hills.

Honesty, between GA Arms stuff at that price and what JKiser has his BH stuff I'd rather get with JKiser and spend the extra scratch knowing I'll never have issues.  Some guy at ACM that was shooting too told me he picked up 1k of Federal stuff for $240 at the gun show.  Should have got some of that.

i shoot the 62 grain as my barrel is 1/7 twist on both ar's.  i have a real problem with 55 grain keyholeing at 25 yards.  but as far as reliability i have had  no problems in over 3000 rounds.
i tried some older chinese that i got cheap and it was blowing the primers out ! i had both lowers
have problems with primers getting into the trigger group and locking it up. so no more cheap
old chinese for me thanks...  i hope this helps you out. p.s i am currently paying 3.25 a box of 20 when i buy less than 500.   and 150. a thousand  here.  but i buy local in hinesville ga. so i am not paying shipping.    so screw 190 for reloads plus shipping.

Would you mind spilling the beans on this $150/1000 ammo source?

I just talked to a guy from GA arms and he said brass prices are going up almost daily.  If that's true, you might need to stock up now for tomorrow.

I'll just add that to my list of reasons I won't buy GA.

The American Ammo I ordered back in March for $115.00 per thousand arrived this week. This is  commercial packaged, brass cased ammo. It's always been 100% in my M-16.

My part of the order was 3000 rounds. I'm still kicking myself for not ordering 8-10k rounds at that price.

A-MERC?

Say it isn't so!

Maybe I'm thinking of another brand, the last A-MERC headstamp I bought was complete crap.

BH, I haven't seen their new price sheet. I'm sure you can get it for the same price I can since you are a dealer.

I just get with my dealer and place an order piggyback on his.
