5.56 Ammo Deals FAQ
How much is 5.56 ammo per round today?
The cheapest in-stock 5.56 is 38¢/rd per round ($18.99 for 50 rounds at Cabela's). The median across 311 products in stock is 88.7¢/rd.
Is bulk 5.56 cheaper?
Usually, though not always: today the cheapest case of 500+ rounds is 45.1¢/rd per round, and the cheapest box overall is 38¢/rd. Many stores ship larger orders free.
Brass or steel case?
Steel-case ammo is cheaper and fine for practice in most guns, but it can’t be reloaded and some indoor ranges ban it. Brass is reloadable and accepted everywhere.
How do you calculate price per round?
We divide the store’s current price by the number of rounds in the box or case. Shipping and taxes are not included. Prices come from the stores we track and are refreshed every day; a deal is listed only when the ammo is in stock and at least 10% under its own recent price, or 15% under every other store.
