Common concerns
Quantity Shortages8%
I was short 3 rounds, but if you figure just how many people are being shorted those rounds, that really adds up.
Damaged/Dented Cases7%
I did notice quite a few dented shell casings
High Current Prices7%
Ridiculously expensive. I wish I could go back to 2018 and order a hundred cases when they were less than half the price.

perhaps the primers are a bit harder than standard
Frequently Asked Questions
Buy 5.56 Ammo for Sale
Is 5.56x45mm NATO the same as 223?
Not exactly. Both cartridges share identical external dimensions, but 5.56 NATO runs at higher pressure (around 58,000 psi) than .223 Remington. A rifle chambered for 5.56 NATO can safely shoot .223, but a .223-only chamber may not handle 5.56 NATO safely. Always verify your rifle's chamber marking.
Can I shoot 223 out of my 5.56 NATO rifle?
Yes, you can safely shoot .223 Remington ammunition through a 5.56 NATO chambered rifle. The 5.56 chamber is slightly larger, giving it extra headspace that handles the lower-pressure .223 without issue. Check your barrel marking to confirm 5.56 NATO chambering before shooting.
What do green tip 556 rounds do?
Green tip 5.56 rounds (M855) use a steel penetrator core designed to improve penetration through light barriers like car doors and sheet metal. They are not truly armor-piercing — the steel tip has minimal effect on actual body armor. They're widely used for target shooting and training.
What is the shelf life of 5.56 ammo?
Properly stored 5.56 ammunition remains functional for decades. Manufacturers typically recommend use within ten years, though this is conservative. Storage conditions matter most—keep rounds cool, dry, and away from moisture and temperature swings. Poor storage can degrade ammunition within just a few years.
Can you hunt with 223 and 556?
Yes, both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO work for hunting. They're most suitable for varmints and small game. For deer-sized animals, use expanding bullets of 62 grains or heavier, though some states prohibit them for deer. Verify your rifle's chamber before shooting either cartridge.
