I'm looking for the best price on 5.56 AR15 rounds. I know Federal makes a good M193 (55gr) but was wondering if any of you guys know of a good, economical online source, or know of a cheaper brand with comparable quality?
let me talk to my local militia and get back to you on that one......... what im serious.... really i am.I'm looking for the best price on 5.56 AR15 rounds.

I've bought from Cheaper Than Dirt and Sportsmans Paradise. They both have good quality ammo at extremely good prices. The more you buy, the better the deal. I usually get the green tip military 223. The best I've used is Federal Tactical Rifle Urban (Law Enforcement only). It's .55gr boat tail hollow point, and it's the ****.I've seen decent prices over at cheaper-than-dirt.com but I cannot vouche for quality.
Thanks Delta. Is the Federal TRU for indoor or close range use only? I thought the hollow tips where more of a spread ammo? I've heard it said that they spin the same on impact but that they frag very poorly. The green tips are the M855, right?I've bought from Cheaper Than Dirt and Sportsmans Paradise.

You are correct about the M855 green tips. The Federal TRU ammo (in BT HP)offers excellent penetration. They also have a special powder that doesn't give the flash that regular powders do, so you can keep your night vision while firing.Thanks Delta.

Thanks again Redwolf. It's an interesting forum and I've had fun looking around over there today!Dr. D,
I run (with some other good folks) a firearms forum. I'm sure you can find an answer there. The addy is:

I have never purchased ammo online myself, but I know many of the guys there have. I'd check under the Long Guns forum.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, I may go with 'The Armory' and pick up some 380 ammo while I'm there. Thank though Bio!I've seen decent prices over at cheaper-than-dirt.com but I cannot vouche for quality.
Thanks NP, that list is a great quick reference resource! Those folks know way more about this stuff that I do. :blink:Dr. D here is an up to date price list. M193 is what I and most people will suggest to shoot. XM193 is the same thing BTW.

Some people like to shoot Wolf, because of it's price. I personally wouldn't use it, but quite a few do without problems. If you are really trying to shoot cheap, I would get a box, and see how it cycles through your weapon.
Yeah, it does have an AM feel to it there. Good board. You know the flaming turns me off, so I can really appreciate that. Thanks for the link Beast!www.thehighroad.org is a great firearms board as well. Good folks and a very AM type "no flaming, no bullshit" policy.

Thanks Krzna. Good to see you at AM bro!
LOL yeah I've spent quite a bit of time over there. They definitely know their ****. Check out the AMMO FAQ they have. It's a long read, but all your questions on 5.56/223 ammo will certainly be anwered.Thanks NP, that list is a great quick reference resource! Those folks know way more about this stuff that I do. :blink:
Yah, I spend most of my time in the shotgun section. I still can't figure out exactly what "evil black rifle" I want. I basically have to decided on .223 or .308 first.Yeah, it does have an AM feel to it there. Good board. You know the flaming turns me off, so I can really appreciate that. Thanks for the link Beast!
