Remington Ammo UMC 55gr fmj is at Wal Mart for 3.94/box of 20.  I have been buying 100 rounds at a time since I can't get any mil. spec. stuff??

It has a MV of about 3100 fps, so hopefully it works ok,  Just affraid to "bite the Wolf"  hear too many horror stories about it..........

The one and only gun store on the island I live on just got a shipment of Remington UMC. This is actually the first time I've ever seen .223 hardball ammo in stock. I bought 1000 rounds. It cost $311 with tax.

True, for a 24" bbl. For the 20" bbl MV is 3000 fps. I made the same mistake here before I corrected myself.
