I've been shopping around for some of this ammo since i've heard nothing but good about it, and was wondering if anyone can find it cheaper than $196 per 500 delivered and $380 per 1,000 delivered. Or should I go for the PMC? This is for plinking and SHTF.

Either is decent. For me, I'd get PMC because CBC (magtec) brass had a much lower internal case volume... and that matters to me as a reloader.

I figured the Magtech would be the clear winner. So far it isn't looking that way.

For plinking, I'd say whatever is cheaper. But Mark has a good point about the reloading part.

If you have all CBC brass and work a load on it, you'd be alright. It'd seriously limit what powders you could run though. Forget Varget, Benchmark, etc.
I've had a few pieces of CBC get into the mix, and when you powder charge the case, the powder is all the way up into the neck. I doubt you'd blow a gun up, but you'd have a seriously compressed powder charge in some cases.

I don't reload so I will try to get what ever is cheapest.

Grant is 380 + 30 delivered. Not sure where buckkiller35 got his from but I am also interested.
