$1 round for 5.56? Isn't that a bit much?

Welcome to the last 2 months of .223/5.56 when found on shelves. Searching the web you can find it cheaper. The only places I've seen that had regular prices like academy or Walmart had lines waiting for every shipment.

Hopefully that all changes sooner than later.

I accidentally bought a buttload of tracer ammo thinking it was XM-193 (slipped up and bought XM-196) before all this scare crap went down. I think I've got close to 500rds left. For the longest time you couldn't shoot it for fear of lighting the countryside on fire though.

Yeah, I thought I'd found a great deal on some 5.56 a couple of years ago; should've paid more attention to the fine print. Maybe I should go shoot it up before we dry up again...

I have some xm855 I could part with for $4/rnd

From what I've heard, Heartland Outdoors sometimes let's you shoot tracer indoors lol

If there were snow on the ground, I bet it would look awesome at night.

I'd like to shoot some over Lake Thunderbird at night, but I'd probably burn it down...

I'm in the same boat as you sooner fan. I called and was told it would most likely be mid may.

I always thought .223 was too small of a rifle round to be really interesting. Then in about 2007 I saw the ammo was 19 cents a round and that made the whole AR thing look like fun. I wish I had stocked up on ammo back then!

I have shot tracers out of an AR at night over a large private lake, it was fun.

Shot thousands of rounds of tracer back in the day. I still enjoy doing it safely when it won't cause fires. I bought 500 pulled military rounds in .308 from Sportsmans guide, and have loaded a couple of hundred so far in the .30-06.

Tracers enable you to see what richocets are all about. You won't believe what a bullet will do after it strikes something.
