If you want to stock up on some great ammo this is about as cheap as you'll find it.
What I like about this place is you don't have to buy 500 or 1000 rounds to get a great price.
At $6.29 a box I don't think you'll find it cheaper anywhere.
I won't shoot steel - I've run 100's of rounds of this out of my S&W AR - like it a lot.

Of interest -
AE REM that you get at Walmart ( black box ) has sealed primers. Good ammo no doubt.
AE 223 that you get at Dicks ( same black box ) does not have sealed primers and is more expensive.

2For those who do shoot steel, I saw at Walmart they marked down 20 round boxes of wolf to $4.75.
This was at the Foothill Ranch location.

3I clicked your link and AE is now down to $5.99/box. Is that a good price?

5For 7.62X51 NATO, SG ammo has a very good deal;
Berdan; https://www.sgammo.com/product/308-win- ... n-bi-metal
Boxer; https://www.sgammo.com/product/308-win- ... mc-south-k
Having shot scads of both, I can honestly say it is on par or better accuracy-wise than that from Win, Rem, or Fed.

Re: Good deal on Great .223 Ammo
6I just bought AE223 from SGAmmo for $5.69/box. That is my go-to place to shop.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to NOT have online ammo shopping.

7Correct me if I'm wrong - I thought it was now illegal in CA to receive ammo at home, so it has to be mailed to a local shop, where they (fair enough) tack on a price for receiving it. ?
Edit: I don't actually feel comfortable receiving at home anyway (mail drop not secure enough) - so is it still a saving?

8Can I buy ammunition online or from a catalog?
Yes, but you can’t ship it to your home any more starting Jan. 1. You can still buy online or from a catalog, but you now have to ship ammunition first to a licensed vendor who can charge you a processing fee.
Can I drive in ammunition I bought out of state?
No. On Jan. 1, it will be illegal to import into California ammunition purchased in another state. The legislature passed a bill in 2016 that would have allowed hunters to bring in up to 50 rounds from out of state without taking it to a dealer, but Proposition 63 overrode that, according to the Department of Justice.

Re: Good deal on Great .223 Ammo
9Thanks, yes, I guess I will be shopping retail as I assume Big 5 et al. will not handle purchases from other vendors and smaller shops will charge a processing fee that may negate the savings.
Re: Good deal on Great .223 Ammo
10No online ammo for us in CA (unless you pay the licensed middleman). Is it worth it? I guess it depends on how much the middleman charges. Some ammo is nearly impossible to find locally, especially defensive ammo in odd calibers. I stocked those prior to 2018 because I never am able to find .380 or 9mm of the type I've chosen for defensive use (should I ever need it). Range ammo is available locally at a price. I'll be looking into reloading before much longer.rustyrower wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 5:15 pm Correct me if I'm wrong - I thought it was now illegal in CA to receive ammo at home, so it has to be mailed to a local shop, where they (fair enough) tack on a price for receiving it. ?

Re: Good deal on Great .223 Ammo
11You can order ammo online and have it shipped to you -- if you have an 03 FFL and a COE.
