Title: Ammo purchasing
Post by: Pine Ridge Puma on February 18, 2015, 09:59:25 PM
Just a FYI.  I recently ran across a site that you sign up on to receive scheduled shipments of various calibers of ammo.  Have not checked out prices or other details, but sounded interesting.  I think it was SENDMEAMMO. COM     Anyone know anything about them?

I don't know anything about them, and wasn't able to find out much with a few cursory searches.

The .223 pricing seems high for remanufactured (~$0.40/rd) but that was pre-BATFE fiasco with M855 so who knows where pricing for that round will go.

There is also PRIME Club.  They have a pretty good selection of calibers, and they sell good stuff, mostly GEGO/Ruag, not remanufactured.  Depending on what caliber, they may have a selection of choices, or it may just be match ammo, which while expensive, is still cheap for what it is.

The Geco .22lr semi-auto is really good ammo and for $.10/round a good value in today's market.  I just did some testing in 4 different rifles on Sunday and the Geco performed about on par with CCI SV and Green Tag, was noticeably better than mini-mags and I didn't have a single malfunction (SV sometimes short cycles the bolt in my Rem 597HB, my most accurate .22).  The only concern I had with it was that it is extremely greasy ammo so not sure how long you can shoot it before a cleaning
