I thought it was $430... still, I might pick up one or two more crates.

"Price check on aisle three!"... "Price check on aisle three!": Nope, it's $439.95 per crate and there were a grand total of 26 crates there this morning at 10:30ish. Two crates on top were marked CJ-5-31, the rest a mix of CJ-5-23 and CJ-5-27. I'm assuming those all hold spam cans with cartridges of the CJ95 headstamp vintage.

Behind them were a rather big pile of AE223BK cardboard boxes/cases of loose 1000rd of 55 FMJ as pictured here (but priced at $499/case):

The first batch at $420 we got on an OLD purchase order. The new stuff is at the current pricing.

As to the Federal: It is more money, but we had to agree to a higher price in order to get it. Given the shortages in supply, we were happy to secure the 200,000 rounds for our customers.

Note to the mathematically challenged: The Norinco crates are a much, much better deal.

1600rds for $439.95 vs 1000rds for $499.95 = 27 cents/rd vs 50 cents/rd.

If you actually go to that U.S. link and click on the pics you'll see the going rate for that 1000rd case: $649 for 500 rounds. Ouch!!

The TSE offering is a bargain in comparison.

Note to the Canadian High school graduates: The Norinco crates are a much, much better deal.

1600rds for $439.95 vs 1000rds for $499.95 = 27 cents/rd vs 50 cents/rd.
