I've been looking online. Is a dollar a shot the going rate. That seems really high to me.

Any opinions on PMC?

How are you spending $1/shot!?!

Skip the steel case stuff (wolf, tula, brown/silver bear, etc) but you can find it for under $0.30/round.

even prvi partisan is only 29cents.

Well that's what I thought but I looked at cheaperthandirt and cabellas and they both looked like $21 per box of 20, which is much higher than I remember.

Gun shows.....reloads or Norinco/Chineese. Shoots OK.

A dollar a round is crazy, unless you're buying heavy match ammo. Prvi Partizan is ~$0.33/rd SHIPPED to your door from ammoman.com.

I usually get it on sale at Dicks Sporting goods for $1.99 a box

I buy the Russian stuff. It's dirty and really cheap. Cabela's and CTD are usually very expensive.

Privi is some good stuff. My FAL loves it, and the "match" by them is very close in accuracy to 60s vintage lake city match.

$1.99? seriously? in jersey?

I spend $0.40 a bullet for the standard Remington 55 grain stuff without even trying.

I reload for around $0.20 a bullet.

Around here, Wal-Mart has decent prices, Farm & Fleet has the best "everyday" prices, but Dick's has the best sale prices--usually in the fall.

I just bought 440 rounds of Federal 5.56 on clipper strips at Academy for $159. C
That's better than Cheaper Than Dirt

You will be happy with PMC, I have no issues with it at all.

I still have a bunch of boxes of steel cased russian Wolf an Brown Bear that I paid probably $2.99/box of 20 for several years ago...... Shoots just fine in my Rock River Arms AR15.

I could not reload for that price (maybe if I had free used brass).
