I wish that I could turn back the clock to when this post started and grab some of those 1000 round cases for $350. I was quoted $499 for 1000rds of PMC today, and got some 500 of 55gr federal for $240.
Obama is the best gun salesman in the world.
Anybody here shoot Wolf? That's the cheapest stuff around, but some of my red-neck buddies say that it sucks.
Yup Obama sold me 2 AK's (before the election...cheap) and a super cool Kel-Tec Sub 2000 Carbine (after the election...not so cheap)
I have enough mil surp 5.56 salted away that I don't have to shoot Wolf but I do when I'm just blasting away and burning a lot of rounds. To each his own but I've put 2.5 - 3 thousand rounds thru 3 different AR's and I've never had a bit of trouble with the new stuff. No broken extractors, no stuck cases, just dirty. I never shot much of the old Wolf because ammo was cheap back then so that debate can rage on without me.
If I was spending big dollars on a class or something I'd probably shoot mil surp but I don't see any reason to burn the good stuff just to play. Zissou says mil surp will get cheap again this summer but just in case I'll hang on to what I've got until then.
That said I wouldn't bet my life on 5.56 Wolf either. The few mags I keep loaded are loaded with Hornady 5.56 LEO TAP and Black Hills Mk 262.
