    The 1000 rd cases might not be around for a while, and the list price for them has shot up since we ordered these last year. The ammo cans of 420 stripper clipped look like they will be a little over $300, but we'll confirm when we get them in.

    Soo good!

    My only problem with buying green tips is I sometimes feel bad shooting them! Ammo like that is supposed to be treasured, and I can't bear to just plink with it.

    ... and it's gone! We're now out of stock on the 1000 rd cases of Lake City 5.56 62gr. When we get them in again, they will be a fair bit more expensive. We will be getting in the ammo cans, however - so PM me if you'd like to be on the list!

    Head off to https://www.ammosupply.ca/shop/35/ to see our other 223 Rem and 5.56 products - we have some great prices. Try a box of 5.56 50gr frangible ammo from Lake City!

    Is this ammunition superior to mid range offerings like PMC Bronze or American Eagle or is it more of a nostalgic demand because it's actual military issue? From what I've read the XM855 is steel core and the XM193 is lead core?

    I think you'll find it's both. People like buying it because its proper 5.56mm stuff that sees use overseas. There are lots of people who will say both good and bad things about XM855's performance in Afghanistan (just ask Greentips the user!) but I generally like that its a quality round in a heavier grain that most off-the-shelf .223 is.

    That sucks! Snooze you loose I guess... Keep bringing in the good stuff though
    Sometimes it is taken, sometimes it is not. But there is no bargain, for here, what is,
    is what must be
