    Never thought that I'd see 62gr green tip this cheap again.

    SGAmmo is selling Federal American Eagle 5.56x45 62gr green tip for $269.50 per 1,000rd case (loose pack). I bought ten cases. After shipping and the $50 rebate per case, that works out to $234.60 per 1,000 case. Seems pretty unbelievable to me.

    FWIW, the online rebate portal requires you to upload the receipt/invoice and photos of the SKU, front and sides of the boxes.

    You’re welcome for my cervix, ATF.

    Daily reminder, our infantry boys are still effectively stacking bodies with ol’ M855.

    Sure, but 193 is cheaper for paper punching.

    I mainly buy 55gr FMJ, but couldn't pass on the 62gr green tip because it's cheaper.

    No, they arent. They are using M855A1 and MK318 precisely because M855 sucks at "stacking bodies".

    What's with the veiled "I was in the military so I know better" comment? You put that in there for a reason. Sorry buddy there are dudes on this board who have killed more people downrange that you who will attest to M855 performing poorly.

    Just planning on shooting at paper and whatnot. Interestingly, I couldn't find M855A1 for sale anywhere. The MK318 that I found is well over twice as much as 55gr FMJ or green tip.

    M193/M855 are very acceptable rounds to accomplish the mission. It’s more than capable for the availability and price per round.

    How many of you are willing to stock 5k+ rounds of M855A1 or MK318 or any of those high speed SOF issued OTM stuff?

    I’ll wait.

    I absolutely agree but it’s a buyer’s market in this climate. My research from the past month have shown that AE M855 dipped down below the cost of M193 and Wolf Gold. Again, this pricing varies by the hour so this argument can be off on either spectrum as time goes on.

    I think the OP was just passing along a good deal. He got himself 10,000 rounds of 5.56 ammo, brass, commercially loaded by reputable major ammo maker, for .24 cents a round. Seems cool to me.
