Need Cheap .223 for plinking

Celtic warrior · July 06, 2004, 15:16

Who's the best source guys?
I was just informed of polymer coating on the Russian steel cased, in which "case" it should fare better than the old laquer coated stuff.

Open to suggestion...

Shot both, wouldn't worry about it.

There was a guy on Sturmgewehr selling Wolf polymer coated .223 for $79 a thousand. I understand it feeds well, but as far as accuracy goes, well it leaves a bit to be desired.
Sportsmans Guide has Federal Lake City M193 for $179 a thousand, with any cupons it would be a great deal.

Personally, I agree with Vince.

I have shot a lot of the lacquered Wolf stuff with no problems.

However, since the new Wolf stuff is polymer coated, I get that now.

SSarge,
Got a link for that ammo? I punched it up and it looks like a discussion board of sorts.

Thanks!

Sportsmansguide with some coupons is a pretty good deal on wolf.

Ssarge · July 06, 2004, 17:13

LimeyinAZ got it right.

Celtic warrior · July 07, 2004, 08:12

Limey looks like that's a bum link. I brought up ammoman though and sportsman's guide, one of those may pan out.
Might even do a WTB on marketplace...
thanks guys!

Clarification - this was an email that I got after an inquiry to price for 7.62x39 ammo - I did not order from them - did not like the sending of checks - prefer a more secure method on these arms length transactions, but have seen good reports from others that did use them.

Celt - sorry for the confusion - should have stated what this was more clearly ( I am not Joann nor do I know her )

Cheaper than Dirt and Aim Surplus usually have goood deals on "Silver Bear" ammo in .223 also. I use it in my AR without problems. Russian made, steel cased and zinc coated. From my Bushmaster M-4gery I can get 2 inch groups at 100 yds.
