5.56 Bosnian Produced Ammo

What have experiences been with this 5.56 ammo on Sportsmans Guide?

at 50 cents a round it must be gold plated.

It is pretty pricey, but you get the can, bandoliers, and stripper clipps - a $20 or so value. And the brass. And besides, I am feeling not so optimistic about things right now and don't have a lot of time to reload several 100 rounds of 5.56 - also don't have the brass, bullets, or powder but do have the primers.

Care to elaborate?

There is a great M. Atwood short story where the wife knows trouble is coming because every radio station is playing soothing music.

I think it may be bredan primed, I seem to recall breaking a decapper on one a couple years ago. I know it says boxer, but I'm a little leery of it.

It's not priced much worse than anything else lately. Glad I had some squirelled away and the ability to produce more.

Another M. Atwood great...

Makes you want to go out and buy a few more boxes (or cases) of ammo...

The ammo is pretty good honestly. It is what we are mainly trying to sell right now since we have a lot from some production overruns. All ammo is going up and at 0.45 per round it is just about as cheap as any other surplus right now. Heck even UMC is 0.40 per round right now.

The sad fact is that Ammo is going to continue to rise. It is killing us right now and for me personally as a shooter it is really starting to hurt. Am probably going to pick up a Dillon 550 or 650 in the next week or so.

Get the 650 or Hornady Lock-N-Load.
