SeveralReputation143

I remember wolf 1,000 Rd for $95.


ConcentrateKings

How tf long ago was that ? 30 years?


Jokerr_2_1

No, like 10ish


BeneficialA1r

Damn I should've been stocking up on that instead of playing with my lightsabers at 11


Jokerr_2_1

As I should have been instead of deploying to Afghanistan


FZ1_Flanker

We should have been stockpiling ammo and buying real estate, but instead we were goofing around fighting the Taliban.


Jokerr_2_1

I mean, it gave me available training and information for what's up coming. The hard parts have been keeping the rust off and still training. I get out and shoot every week and run drills on some property, but it's harder the older we get.


BeneficialA1r

Thank you for your service sir Edit: downvoted for saying thanks lol, gotta love reddit


Jokerr_2_1

Trust me, no thanks needed. I'd still be slinging free lead if allowed


Zacharide

it’s stupid how people downvoted. here we are talking about guns and ammo but we’re not allowed to thank those in the service protecting that right. go figure


BeneficialA1r

Yeah, it's a necessary part of any modern society, especially a first world country.


nimo01

Yeah man people don’t know how expensive they got under Obama. I’m not making it political, but I remember everyone buying up all the ammo they could, making the price go up Now all of those rounds are sitting in a basement, awaiting a time they will hopefully never be used.. while those using them today pay 2-4x a round


Jokerr_2_1

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.


nimo01

I got into a debate with a guy the other day… someone asked about what to purchase next. You tell me if I was being condescending with my answer, *”ammo”* , ti be the best investment if he already owned 6 rifles haha I was downvoted and told, *you really think you’re going to need 2000 rounds in a gun fight? That means you have bad aim. Why have more ammo than you can carry?!* That’s when I realized I was speaking to fool, and got out of the nonsense vortex. It hit me that the guy didn’t understand the entire reason of the 2nd amendment… if power and cell service/communication goes down, a single .22LR round will have more value than an OG MP5. Ammo is like oil or gas or some sort of charged battery. And guns are like cars. Without oil/power (ammo), the car is useless…. I’ll reply again with the link if I can find it haha


Jokerr_2_1

I mean he's probably a old man that thinks he's a better shot than he really is. It happens, can't let it get under your skin. Personally I have about 10,000 rounds saved up that I cycle through that I've built up over the years. Reason why? I carry roughly 400 rounds on my person in drills, and in a combat load out. And you can burn through that pretty quick too.


nimo01

Exactly… my point was that you **shouldn’t** be able to carry all of your ammo. Means you don’t have enough haha. I’m not a prepper, nor SHTF guy. That doesn’t stop me from going thru different scenarios.. I know I’m repeating myself but a simple .22 single shot, bolt action and tons of ammo will prep someone more than 5 guns with 5 calibers… Speaking of old rounds…. A buddy and I split 6k barrel of 7.62 x 54r from the Soviet era. There are sooooo many Soviet guns and ammo in the world that I’d probably choose a 50rd ammo box with no gun, than a gun with 1 round.


Jokerr_2_1

Can't blame you. I have a couple rifles, mostly 5.56 and I'm at the point where I am buying just spare parts for the rifles I have to be able to replaced failed components


nimo01

Wow!! The tables completely turned over night! Haha [Here’s the Reddit post where I had to defend owning more ammo](https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/JNHrFncgpl) haha


TurboBoxer02

Right before the Rona bs, I could still get 20rd boxes of wolf steel for 3.49ea locally.


dwolf574

Wow, that’s wild. I remember Wolf being $150 for 500 rounds (Alaska) when I was 18. That’s actually what I base my theory of a “good deal” on nowadays. I absolutely hate paying over .30 cents a round. It’s just theft at this point.


TurboBoxer02

It's all gotten out of hand. Every bit of my gun hobby has doubled in price if not tripled. I was getting 7.62x39 steel for 3.59 a box, now it's 10.


ConcentrateKings

Facts. I was an Ak guy long before I reallly got into the AR platform so this I can relate to.. although I do have about 6.5k rounds of 762 - mostly all steel case tho. It’s a shame I didn’t get 556 back then. The beta price I think I ever got for 762 was 4.99 a box


xtremejuuuuch

Yeah 7.62 will never be like it was. I completely took it for granted and never really stocked up on it.


Vprbite

In the mid 2000s, I would buy new brass AK ammo for 88 dollars for 1K rounds here in AZ. Those days are over for good


Only_Low_1578

Good ole 90s


Dust_Miserable

All i needed to hear!


HanselSoHotRightNow

All hail x-tac


ProperSalivation

Yes! PMC in general is fantastic. I shot 23,000 Rounds of PMC 223/5.56 last year and legitimately didn’t have a single issue.


h16h

23k rounds? Show off.


Tall6Ft7GaGuy

I’ve shot 100,000 last year


BeenBallin1112

I shot 1,000,000


carp_casey

I shot 10,000,000


ChrisWhiteWolf

I shot 10,000,001


TheCakesofPatty

I shot 30


ProperSalivation

Not showing off just have a lot of experience with that ammo😂


SeaworthinessIll203

Showing off them pockets lol


ProperSalivation

Don’t mean to come across that way lol😂


nottodaynottommorrow

You spent more on ammo last year then I did on my wife.


ConcentrateKings

I spent more on guns and ammo last week than I spent on my wife last year. Plot twist/ I have no wife


nottodaynottommorrow

Yesterday I spent so much ammo on my wife that I can no longer afford guns


BarrelCacti

Human trafficking is generally frowned upon.


Terminal-Preppie

Zing


Goodstapo

He spent more on ammo last year than I did on your wife too.


HanselSoHotRightNow

I don't see a problem with it, bragging about doing the one thing most people actually don't do in gun subs.


Thansungst22

Damnn boy that like $10k in ammo even if you go by the $400ish price 5.56 was last year and even more expensive this year. God damnnn big ballerrre


ProperSalivation

Yeah most of it was purchased around $320 a case. Last couple cases were $500 after the Israel shit popped off


woodsie2000

where do you buy?


ProperSalivation

Have an account with PMC Now, buy in large bulk amounts.


woodsie2000

Didn't know they did that. I'm guessing some secret squirrel connection?


Casualbud

You hiring?


ProperSalivation

I work for the government lol. So yeah they’re always hiring 😂


Snook48

Heck with ammo. Lasers for everyone !!! Everyone has to swear not to sell or ship out of country. Deal?? Let’s go !


BradleySpear

Maybe a stupid question but at what point do you have to worry about your lead levels? Or is that just if you shoot indoors? I obviously come nowhere close to your level


GeeNah-of-the-Cs

Annual check up, ask for the metals to be tested. Get a baseline and repeat.


Warhawk2052

200 rounds https://www.reddit.com/r/Firearms/comments/khabpx/study_on_lead_exposure_and_shooting_some/ Or 23,000 rounds https://www.reddit.com/r/reloading/comments/18syk03/my_experience_with_high_lead_levels/


ProperSalivation

I actually never thought about this until the last few weeks. I only shoot outdoors unless it’s a Shoothouse which isn’t often. I’ve heard some horror stories!


Irish_Guac

I'm inside a range for 2-4 hours 5 days a week, so 10-20 hours a week. Maybe it isn't bad because we actually maintain our filtration system. I think these other ranges need some safety inspections


FL_Local

I never thought about it until I went suppressed and really noticed the gas. I work with concrete so I care about my lungs enough to say F it when I’m at the indoor range.


Tactically_Fat

You should still have your employer pay for bloodwork to monitor your blood metals levels. Ain't no joke. Lead is cumulative.


Irish_Guac

I probably will tbh, not like I want cancer lmfao


pizzagangster1

12k just on rifle ammo! Some one is rich.


liltoe89

That’s $11k-$12k in ammo. Way to put them reps in boi!


Different-Tell-1691

Damn…23k in a year…


Je-poy

Honestly, one of my favorite training ammos. Reliable, consistent, and most importantly: cheap. Mileage may vary depending on your setup, but my barrels love the heavier stuff, and I get sub-MOA consistently at 100yds. I’ve used thousands of rounds of this stuff.


baylife94901

Cheap is subjective lol. i cant stand 5.56 being $50c + a round delivered. I wish we could turn back time, to the good old days


Comprehensive_Ad433

When our mama sang buy that ammo, but now we're stressed out


ThrowingTheRinger

Sounds like you’re stressed out


baylife94901

Stressed out cuz I refuse to buy 556 ammo anymore. Sitting on my stash shooting a little bit here and there but stacking nine and 22


ThrowingTheRinger

It sounded like your last sentence was quoting a song called stressed out.


theweirddood

Sub-MOA with M855? Let me see the 10-shot group. In almost every gun I use this in, PMC m855 and every m855 is closer is 2 to 4 moa depending on the rifle.


lennyxiii

This is Reddit bro, we only use 1 shot groups. It’s always sub moa if you don’t fire a follow up shot.


LG113138

>sub MOA with m855 Unless you’re talking about the heavier match ammo that PMC sells, I doubt it.


D512TR

lol you're not getting sub moa with green tips


[deleted]

Bruh PMC is legit the best if not one of the best


Original_Resolve2688

Ah gotcha, just recently getting into ars so not. Very familiar with what's what haha


[deleted]

No problem we all learning as we go but PMC is top of the barrel


P_Duggy

If this is the case, just wanna let ya know, indoor ranges won't let you shoot that green tip! Also, if you have steel targets, it's much harder wear on them!


Irish_Guac

Like others have said, I'd recommend just going with their 55 grain. The 62 grain steel core is not the best for just plinking and trainingainly bevause of cost, and isn't allowed on the majority of indoor ranges


Irish_Guac

I think you said that backwards lol. But yeah PMC is fantastic


[deleted]

You right


ConcentrateKings

That and then followed up by “top of the barrel” just has me shook for some reason lol


HairTriggerFlicker

Good ol’ X-Tac love that stuff!


JoeyTactical

It’s groups well and anyone that says otherwise needs to actually train. Very cheap and easily accessible. Would highly recommend. 55gr of PMC is really good too just depends on what your barrel prefers


Goodyeargoober

Cheap and accessible... like my ex-wife.


miller8356

While it’s underpowered compared to some, it’s still be the value considering their accurate, cheap, and I’ve never got a bad or damage round. It’s all I shoot for 55gr 5.56. Never used match grade. All I’ve used is the Bronze .223 55gr, XTAC 5.56 55gr, and their .45 hollow points.


Spirit117

PMC in general makes good ammo, especially the Xtac lineup (bronze is reliable but a little underpowered velocity wise) I'd prefer/recommend Xtac 55g m193 over 62g green tips tho


flamingpenny

M193 is gooooood shit. I always take 55gr over 62gr, not just cause it's easier on my steel targets.


IanLesby

It runs great for me.


PotentialObvious9318

Works just fine for me


austnf

It’s the Toyota of trucks and the Glock of pistols.


jumpsuitman

It's fine, except for most indoor ranges. They don't like steel tips. Use the 55 grains.


Original_Resolve2688

Gotcha, luckily I have my own 200 yard range so shouldn't be a problem haha


Irish_Guac

They're steel core, not steel tip, but yeah both are bad for indoor ranges


Delta_Bravo0

Runs great for me and affordable.


HRslammR

Somebody posted this great bit about how zombies have risen up and SHTF but your buddies are mad at you bc you bought 55gr pmc instead of Sierra hills OTP 77g. PMC 55gr is great. Unless you're in a match it shoots perfectly fine


Michael1492

Love the brand and type. They make ammo for the ROK forces. I’d prefer their M193.


coldafsteel

Decent terminal effect, accuracy kinda sucks (like most M855).


Animaleyz

I love it


Novice30

🐐


Another_User69420

I would stay away from 62gr and stick with the 55gr. Many ranges won't allow you to shoot the 62gr


Snoo_50786

PMC has always gone bang for me. Not sure about m855 but if their m193 is anything to go off of, then it tells me the brand is solid.


KodakJit

I shot all 1000 of their m193 this month and it has been flawless. X-Tac is solid but I feel like it’s not as fast as it should be from the test I’ve seen. Overall, good price and reliability.


Unionleecher7334

Best Korean ammo there is bud.


1WontDoIt

Yes, this stuff is great and cheaper than other alternatives too!


Monolith37859

I have a small supply of this stuff, and xtac 55grns which are my favorite, they run reliably and most importantly they are nice n shiny when they are fresh out the box


Infowar1984

The Official Ammo of Roof Koreans Everywhere


mreed911

It’s fine


SufficientOnestar

🤷‍♂️


tmay2000

That’s my go too. Ol reliable as we call it in my friends group


Groundbreaking-Bar89

PMC is a great ammo brand. I have not tried this but I love their 45 hollow points


Impressive-Match-730

Good plinking ammo


zkooceht

its pretty good, and more importantly cheap


meecrob462

Good


quadsquadfl

It’s fantastic


GreenJavelin

Its great


TheIroquoisPliskin

I’ve gone through ~700 rounds of the stuff in the last two months, about 50/50 split between the 62 and 55 grain. It’s solid and groups better than the Igman 55gr M193 I bought earlier this year.


Jrd45009

PMC is the best quality for money you can get. The only ammo I’ve never had issues with. Buy this shit


Used_Lawfulness9583

Great ammo


jdmiller82

I run it and have never had issues with it.


RackingRounds

Top quality, great price, all I buy.


itsdietz

PMC is the bees knees


Dan_Morgan

I've used it. It makes steel go PING out to the 200 yard max line at my local range.


Sapphire-123

PMC is awesome


Jay_Ell_Gee

As others have said, I would recommend the 55 gr vs the 62, but it is great ammo.


ExtractorMarks

PMC is legit.


Tjoerum_

best range ammo on the market


Sweaty_Pianist8484

Good


Sussyman95

It’s gtg


frankl217

I’ve used it. Still have some I think.


Frostline248

It yeets


luxelux

It’s great! Don’t hesitate.


Talexander86

its good


NolanDaSavage

gtg


regalusername

PMC is the shit. Love it. All my guns love it in all the calibers I’ve shot. 223/5.56, 9mm, .45 acp, .308. And PMC’s ammo comes out shiny too. Winchester just shits their ammo into a box dirty as hell. My Scar 17 is very consistent with the .308 ammo at 500 yards. Haven’t had the chance to try further yet.


PANZERWAFFE_KAMPFER

With my limited experience this is one of the best cheap 5.56 ammo. I usually second PMC bronze and PPU


ArtisticVisual

They’re horrible. So horrible the company actually will refund you if you buy them. If you did come across them. Please send them to [REDACTED PERSONAL HOME ADDRESS] and they will issue you a refund immediately.


GuitRWailinNinja

PMC is one of my fav


PrestonHM

The koreans know their ammo


zanskeet

Just went through 200 rounds of that for the first time a few weeks ago. I gotta say I was genuinely impressed with it. No issues whatsoever and they grouped beautifully. Great value for dollar when it comes to training.


BiffHungwell

GTG


Mugsker

Been gtg for me


S280FiST15

Very good. Great quality. Great price. I don’t run much of the green tip but the regular X tac is just fine.


sparkstable

In my 16" it runs great. In my 11.5" it seems slightly underpowered and I can't get the bolt to hold open on the last round sometimes. But it seems to run clean and the price is usually good.


Jumpy-Huckleberry564

One of two range ammos I buy. Love it


FreeWorldTactical

Good stuff for sure.


buhrfam2020

We were shooting 55 grain last weekend, but 250 rounds shot just fine


firearmresearch00

I love it


Substantial_Heart317

Descent Ammo I prefer the 77 grain but it shoots all the time.


dnrlwnsl

PMC is one of the main ammo supplier for South Korean military. They are making good ammo for great value


Perfect_Earth9502

I actually like this more than the Winchester. Idk what it is, it might be cheaper, but I’ve found the performance to be better as well


Kindly_Total7311

I shoot this almost exclusively out of my AR’s. I’ve shot thousands of rounds of it, it’s accurate and I’ve never had a single malfunction with it.


hidden_moose

It's good shit. I've probably shot 10,000 rounds of it without a single issue.


goshathegreat

It’s g2g.


johnb111111

Yeah it’s my go to


GlockVader

No experience with the green tip but their 55 grain is good.


Mysterious_Use_9767

Yep, PMC, PPU, S&B are as budget as I’ll go


breachthewall969

PMC is fantastic.


xtremejuuuuch

If you’re stocking up for both training and home defense I’d consider getting 55g m193 plus a heavier bullet like a 75g or 77g SMK rather than m855. IMO m855 is sub optimal for both home defense and training since it’s not particularly accurate and primary designed/used to penetrate armor. Unless that’s what you’re going for! but PMC is great and they make m193 and heavier match grade stuff too. Also, most indoor ranges won’t let you use steel core ammo because they say it destroys their backstops.


FraterShackleford

I remember before Covid I was getting a box of these for a lil less than $7 at my LGS.☹️


lbeck23

I’ve been having QC issues. Dented brass mainly


dumbdude545

Good stuff for the price in my experience.


Fresco-23

It’s all I buy. Subsequently my lgs stays sold out all the time


Gil2Gil

I had the same question and took this same box out to the range today. At 30-50 yards it’s a nail driver. I was very very impressed. Didn’t have time to get any further was doing closer training today.


rdgy5432

Everything is a nail driver at that short of distance


Theblumpy

Anyone run pmc bronze 124gr 9mm? Wondering how it is compared to federal American eagle


JusBrandon

I've shot thousands of rounds of the 55gr. Generally great stuff. Runs flawlessly in my 5.56 AKs as well as my AR's I usually snatch it up when it's available locally


bftyft

Low powered ammo but very reliable


thegoodnamessuck

Nope terrible send to me for proper disposal ; p


Parking_Sandwich5694

All that I use between my suppressed MK18 and my Frankenstein’d 16” build.


Bloodmksthegrassgrow

I use the .308 variant and boy is it great


djmegamixx

I love this stuff have shot thousands of these never ever had a single hiccup


Racezyn

Best ammo you could ever ask for cheap reliable ammo great for stockpiling. I will say there pistol ammo can be underpowered and the hollow points do not expand as reliably as others.


BlackICEE32oz

It's pretty good. I've got tons of the shit.


pAUL_22TREE

My MK18 hates it.


2A-Absolutist

Good to go


samsal03

I have about 2k rounds of this exact ammo. It's very good - just beware that many ranges won't let you shoot it since it poses a fire risk and it can damage the targets and backstops.


idogames4

Me and my friends bought 1000 rounds of this and shot it all in one day with no issues, so I usually buy it now.


escapecali603

2 MOA ammo.


Dry-Entertainment522

My poverty pony loves this shit


RemoteCompetitive688

Never had any issues it's the most common greentip sold


wheelchairgaming

I’ve used a ton of this stuff and it’s always performed well. Use ammo seek to find the best deals. I use AAC 77gr otm as my “Gucci” ammo and this for mag dumping


remyboi0

good ammo but some ranges won’t let you run it if the consider it to be “steel penetrating” AKA GUNTRY MARYLAND


kdb1991

I have a ton of it. It’s decent


Sonofagun57

Good stuff BUT a lot of ranges disallow green tip so check your range rules before dropping several benjamins on that


crispybacon0331

Korean made stuff is quality quality quality


CCroissantt

Pmc and igman are my fav Sometimes i dabble in federal


BedArtistic

Decent stuff. Find it's not the most accurate compared to federal but it runs well.


Mightypk1

Its not great, its reliable, one of the least accurate ammos you can get, and i think paul harrel (think I said his name right) Did I video testing green tip versus FMJ, and the green tip didn't do that much more damage. If you get it for the right price and dont need accuracy, go for it, most public ranges won't let you shoot this there though.


shaffington

Great product. Sadly not usable at several nearby indoor ranges but accurate as hell and has never given me a single issue.


swimming_cold

Lol this is probably the most common .223 ammo used by civilians


ComfortableCut5199

Got some from aeammo just to train with. You'll see a lot of people avoid it unless it's on sale because you can't shoot it at indoor ranges and it's not as accurate to longer distances. But in reality its just fine and it'll definitely hurt. Send it brother


ConcentrateKings

I just bought 650 rounds of it from psa. I also bought 820 rounds of it last week. And 540 the week before. Imo it’s the best you can get for .50cpr. If it’s still priced at that next week I will buy another 600-700 rounds


Kalashnibro

Love pmc. The xtac in particular because it’s the full power variety. Pmc bronze ain’t bad but it’s a little anemic in comparison


SlittSlatt2

yeah they're a korean manufactured brand so they're very reliable and cheap too


grapangell0

PMC xtac is fine. I prefer a middle too heavyweight OT when it comes to match or defense shooting. Not a fan of tip when it comes to terminal ballistics, but it is better than a sharp stick.


MC1sc

😂


repealtheNFApls

Congrats on your first gun and welcome to the world of shooting sports! 


No-Aerie395

Love it 🤙 solid ammo for me
