    I just picked up the limit of 3 boxes at the local Walmart of this ammo. It's going to the bottom of the stash for last resort. I've never run any steel case ammo, I'm a little apprehensive to use this.

    I've had it give me the error a few times, but on the advice of another member, just made sure to stay persistent. It's worked for me every time.

    Yesterday I saw 5.56/.223 in my Walmart for the first time since Dec! They had a big stack but it was going fast, even with a limit of three boxes. I had my wife grab three, too.

    It's in a blue & white box labeled Independence. $9 and good stuff too, XM193 made in Israel. Brass case, FC headstamp and made this year. Sold by Federal. I hope Walmart keeps getting this stuff, and $45 per 100 isn't a bad price these days.

    Then driving home I heard the good news from the Senate votes. A good day (till Waco).

    I picked up 100 rounds of Herter's HP .223 steel that I'm leaving in the stash. After reading that Lucky Gunner brass vs. steel blog post, I'm in no hurry to run steel in my new AR. I figure I can at least use it to sweeten a deal in the future.

    Unless there's absolutely nothing else I would never, ever run steel in my AR, I don't care if it gets down to ten cants a round.

    Just managed to pick up 3 boxes of independence 556 at the one of my local Wally World. There was Tula on the shelf also but given the option ill take brass 556 all day.

    I have an AR or two that I'll run anything in. But anything with a good barrel only gets good ammo.

    Exactly. I have an RRA Upper with a Delton 16" barrel which serves this purpose...

    The Daniel Defense and BCM rifles get the brass.

    I did the same thing back in December after the shootings. Academy had around 5k steel rounds in .223 but I passed thinking some brass would be in stock soon. I haven't seen .223 or 5.56 since then. I have a 150 mile corridor that I look for ammo and can't find any. It's depressing.

    If I owned a Del-Ton or Bushmaster I would consider it. My LMT and DD barrels only get the brass stuff.
