Well WWW.cheaperthandirt.com has this listed for $2.89 a box.  I would like to stock up just for plinking purposes.  Have you guys had any experience with it?  I have a Bushmaster xm-15 and tried the cheap wolf stuff but "just to see if she liked it or not".  Well she had a hicup every third round or so, they simply wouldn't eject.  I started freaking out b/c I thought it might be the gun (yes I am new to the AR thing, it's my first rifle) but i put some winchester in and it cycled flawlessly.  I'd just like to hear your thoughts on it before i decide to buy

That's $144.5 a case. Little on the pricey side if you can't find anything that will work and is cheaper.

Or for $30 more, you can have Q3131A or LC.

It's not worth $2.89 a box if you can get it from AIM surplus or ammunitionstore.com for $2.40/box. They sell it for $60/500.

I have just put 200 rounds of wolf .223 fmj 62gr through my AR with no problem.

Hmmm. maybe the 62 grain stuff works better than the 55 gr fmj.  Won't be buying it anyway though.  Just got Q3131A from bass pro for $2.88!!! a box.  Couldn't believe my eyes.  Picked up two cases.
