Rifle ammo prices

[LkWinnipesaukee]

The time is almost here-- I will soon be the proud owner of an AR-15 (and a neat .22 if all goes well). Then after that, the .308 bolt gun. I had some questions about ammo prices.

I was checking out .223 and .308 ammo on Midway USA. For casual plinking, I was just looking at the cheapest ammo I can get (which is reloadable,that means brass case and 'boxer' primed??).

What I found (ALL FMJ):

.223:

-Federal American Eagle 55 gr - $130/500 (.26/round)
-Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 55gr -$250/1000(.25/round)
-Remington 55 gr VMC -$52/200 (.26/round)
______

.308

-Federal American Eagle 150 gr -$280/500 (.56/round)
-Remington UMC 150 gr -$109/200 (.54/round)
-Winchester USA 147 gr -$100/200 (.54/round)

Are those good prices? Like I said, this is just for informal paper punching.

Has anyone had experience with any of these? Any other suggestions?


Thanks
