    What made you consider Wolf....they are all steel case right? Isn't brass better for the firearm?

    Lets see if we can garner enough interest to get a butt-load.
    That was some bad math on my part, forgive me. For some reason I thought you had said $15 a thousand.

    I was determined to shoot all brass but the $100 difference between brass and wolf for a 1000 is just too tempting. It allows me to shoot more often and save some money. I figure even if I need to buy a new bcg after a few thousand rounds. I've saved about $300-400, figure I have to replace the ejector and/or whole bcg after 3-4k rounds.

    I don't reload .223 yet but I have a good supply of brass still which I pick up when I see someone giving it up. I have a supply of brass cased ammo that I'm saving for a carbine class some day down the road.

    Wrote a bit to answer your question but you get the gist. I may still be interested in an order, albeit small.

    $5.79 per 20rd box

    Thats $289.50 per thousand



    Federal XM193F 5.56mm 55 grain FMJ, 20rd box, Packaged in 500rd cases

    $5.89 per 20rd

    Thats $294.50 per thousand



    Federal .40 S&W 180gr FMJ Box of 50rd. This is new ammunition that is brass cased, boxer primed, fully reloadable.

    $13.95 per 50rd

    Thats $279.00 per thousand

    Shipping is $12.00 per thousand for either load.

    I did 30 minutes of due diligence and determined that there was nowhere else that could touch those prices. If someone has any ideas I would LOVE to hear from them.
    (I wonder if it is cool to shoot those M855's at PMSC)
    I use .40 but I can get almost the same price at Walmart,$14.95 per box of 50 for Federal & $28.95 per box of 100 for Winchester, & not have any shipping charges

    I'd be in for 1,000 of each, 40sw and 5.56 if the timing was right and the price was right. Unfortunately I too am across the state in SE. Put some more details on who the potential seller will be and PM me when it comes time for ordering.

    Dont know if this ever happened but if anyone is still looking. I recently set up a dealer account with various companies. Minimum order is $550 and I beleive they will ship free. I think think there is a hazardous mat fee, but they are $25 if there is one. These prices are approximate give or take. I do a very small mark up, but will consider price matching within reason and you need to either pick it up from me in delaware or I am willing to meet people in the chadds ford area need targetmaster on friday which is my shooting day.

    40 s&w
    REMemington L40SW4A UMC 40S MEGA 165MC 250rounds $82
    HORNady 91368 40S 180 PD 20 rounds $13.50
    INDEPENDENCE 5258 40SW 180 FMJ 50 $13.65 ( good target load)
    other brands and hollow points available They dont carry S&B currently

    Federal 223 Remington 55 Grain Metal Case Boat-Tail $5.75 per box of 20 min of 500 rounds.

    Also I can get mountain house at decent prices ( as good as anyone else plus ill ship that for free and take paypal) for your survivalists out there.

    Not my favorite ammo but at that price I would pick up a few thousand rounds if there was a store near me.
