this is kinda high in price. But it's reloadable...

That's cheaper then I have found anywhere else

I paid $419 for 1000 rounds a few weeks ago. $365 is still ridiculous, but it's a lot better than what I paid.

I got my first AR just as prices were starting to go up. I never got to enjoy $.20/rd for .223. I'm definitely hoping the prices fall.

 

[INMIline]

prices seem to be on a decline with AK/AR ammo.

How about Wolf for $289 + shipping. Best price I've seen in a long time:

Classic Arms Inc.

Scroll down a bit and it's there....

Palmetto state has that for the same price, plus $12 shipping. I'm telling you folks, you can't beat Palmetto. $12 flat rate shipping on case purchases...

aimsurplus has .223 Wolf for $5.59 for 1box of 20, but if you buy 50 boxes it is $5.59 per box! (put your calculators away the per box price is the same, you'll save on shipping per box though if you buy in bulk) I did a mock checkout and with shipping it is $.32/bul if you buy 10 boxes, $.30 /bul if you buy 20 boxes and $.29/bul if you go up to 40 or 50 boxes. calculated to 46074 zip
It is my understanding wolf is a decent ammo if you are not dead set on tight groups. How does the PMC compare regarding quality, and consistency?

 

[mettle]

Wolf is something that you take to the range or a small rifle course. PMC, to me, is pretty much the same way. You can expect better groups from it though.

biggest diff is the steel vs brass case. some people swear that the steel cases wear on the AR more, and the lacquer coatings on the wolf/bb/sb stuff can eventually create problems. $365 is starting to look a lot better, considering $385 used to be cheap and sell out in hours.

The issues with the Russian ammo in US guns/calibers is that the coatings from the cases can cause them to stick in the chamber. This problem is magnified by non-chrome lined chambers.

The Russian calibers have descending case diameters. Where as the US calibers are not so descending on case diameters and have more chance of getting stuck in the chamber.

The Russian/Soviet cases almost force themselves out of the chamber when fired.
