American Eagle AE223 Ammunition- Gander Mtn $29.99/100rd Box

[FishersCPA]

** As of 11/08/10 the sale is OVER ** I would close the thread but the option in Thread Tools is no long available.

**Can't change the header but the sale is on AE223 (.223) not XM193 (5.56)**

Sorry for the confusion...

Gander Mtn currently has .223 55-gr 100rd boxes for $29.99 ($32.09 after tax). Same price whether you buy one or a hundred...

If you are looking for 5.56 in XM193 "44 Magnum Shooter" has 200rds/$75 (or $70) @ https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...s/106881-xm193_ammunition_-_great_deal_-.html. I don't know if he charges sales tax...

223 v 556. You pay more for 556. Most places are $90+ for 200 value packs.

Not sure why the 5.56 vs .223 reference was brought up... but in 5.56...

The goal was to present a good (current) price on a caliber and round that many may be using for training, etc...

because the xm193 is actually 5.56 and I believe they are actually running the ae223 which is .223 for the $29.99/100. I personally haven't seen the xm193 on sale like that before.

Thank you for catching my mistake... You are correct, the sale is for the AE223...

Thats a great price for gander.

Does anyone know the spec differences between them? As far as fps and what weight the ae223 bullet is?

I may just buy a few boxes. I don't really need any more .223/556 but for 32 cents a round cash in hand for brass cased... I may not be able to help myself

Not sure of the 5.56 but the .223 is 55gr fmj. If you watch the ammo and reloading supplies section up in the normal forum there is always a heads up when it goes on sale at GM.

I was in there today. They still have a lot on the shelves. The sale ends on the 3rd. Get it while you can.
