Check these prices as well I've ordered quite a bit of M855 and PMC X-Tac here lately: http://www.palmettostatearmory.com/223-556-ammo.php
$12 per thousand shipping too. They just ran the X-Tac for $5.49 a box in case price and probably will again. I'm back up to over 10k of 5.56 again, time for another class.

The UPS man just came. Another 2,400 rounds of M-855 is now in stock. Can't possibly have too much ammo!  Bill T.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

That's a good price! A few bucks cheaper than the IMI M-855. Federal Mil-Spec ammo is about as good as it gets. I wonder if it is loaded as hot as the IMI? Ammo is coming down in price across the board. I just wonder how long it will last?  Bill T.

Component prices should be going down too.

Stock up on powder, bullets and primers while they are cheaper.

Buy and shoot the cheaper ammo while the prices are low and save all the brass.

If, or more probably when, prices rise again, reload.

Looks like I bought my 2,400 rounds of IMI, M-855 from Wideners just in the nick of time. The joint blew up today at 10:00 AM this morning!  Bill T.

I called Wideners and they're still up and running. I just ordered 5,000 Lake City 55 Gr. .224 FMJ bullets from them. Good deal at $390.00 including shipping USPS. Should be here by next week. That comes to only $7.80 a hundred shipped.  Bill T.

My Lake City, M-193, 55 Gr. FMJ Boatail projectiles came Saturday from Widener's. They ship in 1,000 round bags, 5 bags to the case. The poor USPS girl was struggling to bring them to my door. Melanie heard the truck pull up and ran out to help her. I was at work. Must have been a Kodak Moment seeing 2 women carrying in my bullets!

Anyway these bullets are the absolute highest quality bulk bullets I've ever seen. They are very smooth, shiney, and uniform, and the cannurles are smoothly indented with no raised areas. They are much better than the Winchester bullets of the same type I loaded on my last batch.

It's going to be a while before I get them all loaded up, and can do any accuracy testing with them. I've got a ton of cases to prep, and I'll hold off with those until the hot weather sets in this Summer. I'm going to have to get another 8 pounds of powder, and I'm trying to decide what to buy. I want something that meters through my Dillon measure well. I was thinking about trying H-335 or else BL-C2. Both are good in the AR-15. For anyone who loads a lot of .223, check out these Lake City Projectiles from Wideners. They are good bullets at a very good price.  Bill T.
