    American reloading almost always has 40% off bullets so when you put it in the cart those $80.00 for 500 FMJ pulled are $48 shipped.

    So how about these? One thousand .223 55gr M193 FMJ for 4 cents a piece. And don't let blemished bother you because their most blemished FMJ is more accurate than the best anyone can cast.

    Put them in the cart though, they always have an automatic 25% to 50% discount when added to your cart and the shipping is free over $150. They cannot be beat these days

    *sigh* RIF

    Pulled bullets are 40% off right now so one click would have told you that it is really $48/500.

    If you prefer to buy new thats fine, but not in the spirit of the thread.

    Everglades appears to have free shipping so it has that going for it. American Reloading has shipping for $10, free over $150

    The 62 FMJs aren't the best deal imo unless a steel core is a thing you value. I've gotten some same lot M855 in a heavy discount for like ¢6 and they shoot 2-3moa though. It seems like the soft points aren't top priority but would be your best bet for groups especially if you don't buy the "mix". The FMJ 55 "mix" is like 4-8moa but the more expensive not "mix" will do half that depending on the lot/batch you get. Best stuff you can get is the BTHPs or varmint bullets but those don't come up often and they go fast.
