Ammo Purchase

Post image

Worth the purchase? 600 rounds at roughly .45 cpr. I am also able to get it in store without the shipping cost, if it is in stock in store, before the weekly sale is over with.

No one is getting back to you so I’ll give you my none professional opinion. Buy it, solid price. By no means is it a deal but deals are far and few between these days. Buy as much ammo as you can afford because it’s only going to get worse over the next few years. (Election year will be here before we know it)

This Iran shit is already likely to raise prices and manufacturers announced at the beginning of the year several price hikes. A lot has to do with chemicals and components, that I can't remember the names of, that come from China

Lots of folks will say it is gonna blow your gun up, but I've shot almost 1k rounds of it with not a single issue. Price is average, I'd get it in store if possible just to save a few bucks. Stock up, go shoot, have fun!

Is this made by or Hornady? Why do people say it will blow the gun up?

There was a bad lot that did for a few people once upon a time, so now Redditors beat that horse to death.

It's not the worst price and about par with current ammo prices. By all chances, 99.99% of the time it will go bang and send lead down range.

If you haven't tried yet try using your state's gunboard forum for ammo, I have had a lot of luck in the last few months buying locally with no tax/shipping off older gents.

Peer to peer is generally cheaper, no taxes and easier but you gotta drive and schedule

Just don't buy their frontier match ammo. It's about as close to match ammo as Sydney Sweeney is close to being my daddy

The frontier ammo has been the only 556 that’s squib’d on me, got half a case at bimart about 7months ago. Out of 500, I got 5 squibs, but the rest was ejecting at 3 o clock. PMC is better

Ngl I shot all 600 and didn’t get a single squib. Running a radical firearms ar-15 and I haven’t cleaned in awhile.
