Military battlepak ammo. Looking for a value....

[hatman1793]

Sealed, never opened, battlepak of military (Korean) non corrosive brass cased ammo. 400 round count.
This is military standard weight ammo, probably crimped in primers. So, the primers are slightly harder than commercial primers.
My bolt action rifle in .223 sometimes sets them off but not consistently.

Believe me, I know what your thinking..... he has a bad firing pin or spring, or both, or that bolt rifle is just junk. No on each account. This 5.56 was made for military rifle use, not commercial bolt guns.
As my bolt gun doesn’t care for it, i might be looking to sell it all, but need some thoughts on what its worth. Chime in if you have an idea of what it’s worth.
Thanks.

Picture of the battlepack ?

Commerical 5.56mm ammo is 50 cents a shot or so... Somewhere in that neighbourhood?

I would seriously avoid shooting 5.56 in a .223 bolt gun.

If non-corrosive, you can probably get around 150-175 for it.

.223 Remington is close to 5.56 but not identical. We all know this.

Military 5.56 ammo has crimped in primers, & the primer cup is generally thicker. Thicker for full auto squad automatic rifles & machine guns. To avoid *cook-offs* & accidental discharges. All good.

My research suggests its worth $200.00.

Edit post: i posted it for sale, local pickup only, for C$200.00.
