Aquila 55gr and KAC SR15e3

[jwperry]

Anyone shooting Aguila 55gr through their SR15s? Any issues?

My rifle doesn't like under powered ammo and I can't fathom paying nearly $.40 per round of XM193 after I bought it for $.27 my last ammo purchase.

Or does anyone have a good source for Prvi, Winchester, Federal or Hornady shooting ammo at/around $.30 per round shipped?

I'm going to have to give that Prvi a hard look, but I'm going to keep hunting for some cheaper.
The little voice in the back of my head told me to restock 2 months ago and I didn't, now I'm down to my last ammo can and everything has skyrocketed in price.


Thanks for the links IG.

I have been searching my usual places and the 5.56 ammo is disappearing like crazy. I wouldn't think too long.

The links Iraqgunz provided for M855 ammo is about as good as it gets. A lot of internet retailers are selling it as high as $400/1000. The only place I could find for U.S. made M193 at a decent price for these times was here. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=FAXM193BK Total was $357 with insured shipping to Orlando,FL. The places that had Aguila and Prvi ammo that was cheaper per 1000 had higher shipping rates that brought the total more than the Federal brand. I'm surprised this is still available for bulk ammo.

I was looking specifically into the Aquila because I had the email from aimsurplus.com about it being $270 per 1k, I had seen it other places for under $300 per 1k as well.

I went ahead and bought 14 of the 300 round M855 bulk packs from Wideners. I can live with $.31 per round.
Let's hope this isn't any of the 5MOA M855. :D
