AIM had the Radway Green for $169 per can of 720 a few weeks ago. I posted it here and noone took notice. TOS didn't even have it on their list when I looked.

I noticed but it was all gone when I tried to order.
I'll post it here because I know the ammo whores would buy it up @afr :D
Its not talked about much, but the Federal 50gHP in the 200 round value pack is very good suff. My recent batch is LC05 brass, crimped primer, canuelure pill with a big hole HP. Oddly enough I'm getting great groups with RRA Wilson barrel 1/8 SS . rated fps is 3400
Oh, the cost is 52.00 per value pack from you local shithole walmart. 260 per 1K is really good current prices for very decent ammo.
But don't tell the whore @ arf ;)
I wish I'd sold my plasma or other bodily fluids to get more of the "grade 2" Guatemalan IMG M193 that www.aimsurplus.com had for a good price a few months ago. The first case of 1440 rounds was the most corroded, crusty stuff I've ever seen (worse than any of the photos published on AR15.com), but it all fed and extracted fine. I had exactly one (1) failure to fire somewhere before the 2000 round mark (a second case got mixed into my magazines during that time). Zero problems since then.
I won't tell them if you don't!
05 brass and big HP sounds great. 50 is light but a 1/8 shouldn't be too tight for it, should it?
The Federal 50gr HP stuff is great, I got some at Walmart awhile back but here in AZ they havent got any more in? I shot some Remingtom UMC at the range today I got a bad batch and need to contact them tomorrow, the rounds were barely crimped and the projectile would collapse back into the case on a few rounds. I had a hell of a time getting one out of my newly returned M&PT also.
Bass pro shops in Charlotte (Concord) NC had green box UMC 55gr for $4.99 a box on Sunday and with a 10% off sign above it.
I snagged a "few" boxes. :D
I've bought two Federal "Value Pack" boxes and approximately the same amount of the American Eagle version. Both were mainly FC 223 brass with some LC 04, 05, and 06 cases. I'm guessing Federal's using whatever brass it has lying around to load it.
After the Federal, the best available locally is the Winchester USA 45gr JHP's in 40 round boxes and the Remington UMC 55gr FMJ. I tried the Remington 45gr JHP's but had several out of spec rounds, some extremely hard primer's on a couple of rounds, and extremely poor accuracy out of three boxes out of three different lots.
