What bottlerocket posted is more or less an /end thread kind of thing. However, be sure to calculate your cost with shipping included to come up with the final price. Which that site does a good job of helping you with. Best bet is a 1000 or more rounds to make it really worth while.

I have always had good luck with ammoman.com and their serbian brass cased, boxer primed with 55gr fmj. Usually under $400 shipped.

I need to replenish my stores. I went through some ammo last week I was home. I am down to 4000-4500

Exactly! The site actually has a feature (which I overlooked for a while) where you can enter your zip code and it will estimate shipping on the ammo as well to give you a pretty close cost/round number when all said and done.

I seen Aim surplus had PMC Brass for 299.00 per K, that would be plus shipping. Usually I just wait for a gun show and pick up Brass reload 1000 rnds for a cash deal of $300.

Careful who you purchase from. If you have ever reloaded you know that it takes one lapse of concentration to do something like double charge a round and that can be bad news for your gun.

If you're not gonna reload, why not shoot steel?

I plan on getting in to reloading one day, brass is much cleaner, and my slidefire stock will not function with steel case

Thats a damn shame. Would make mag dumps cheaper :wink1:

That is interesting to know. Is it just your gun?

I dont know, I havent put it on any of my other guns. Right now its on my M&P and it would not take it, 2 rnd burst at best. Cycled fine with brass.

could it be another issue? buffer spring or something that its cycling too fast?

I would think if it was that, problem would occur wth both case's not just steel.

I'm just throwing out ideas right now. I don't see why steel wouldn't cycle with it, doesn't make sense

I dont know, for shits and giggles I sprayed a little lube on the the ammo when I was loading them in the mag, and that seemed to help. But I can fire steel with FTF's, then turn right around and load the same mag with brass, and it runs flawless.
