how much will you pay for "green tip"

[bcannon]

33¢ a round and not a penny more

 

[churchmouse]

I would trade green tip for 5.56 or good .223

 

[SSGSAD]

Zero, because I didn't shoot it a month ago and won't be shooting it going forward.

Amen, to this ..... I just bought some .223/5.56, at Bradis, and probably won't shoot that .....

 

[9mmfan]

I've never shot any of it, so why would I now?

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Probably around .32-.33 per round shipped. I'm fairly flush on 5.56, so maybe not at that price. I would have a real hard time turning it down at .24 or less per round shipped.

what do you consider "good .223?"

PMC/Federal is "OK"
No white box/re-loads etc.

I have federal and remington 100rnd boxes new I would trade. 3 federal,3 Remington
all .223

 

[Bfish]

I have no preference for M855 over other types of 223/556 so unless it's cheap I'm not buying!

Shoot me a PM

 

[IndyGlockMan]

M855 & SS109 are really not that great of a bullet if you are going for any level of accuracy.
I have some socked away and won't shoot any until the smoke clears around this ban.
Hopefully it will get struck down and go back to normal.

Hoarders vindicated!
I'm sure there's a lot of them saying "I told you so...'

I was at my old gun store in MI today and when I first walked in I saw 5.56 55gr cases marked for 700.00/1000, 20rd boxes of X-Tac were 15.00. It disgusted me and I didn't end up getting what I went for. I'm sure i'm not the only one that noticed. You'll lose customers for that kind of short-sighted nonsense. I know if the old man was alive he'd slap his grandson silly that runs the place now.

That's a really good way to phrase it. And one of these 2 guys said that as well (can't remember which):

I shoot 55gr so I shoot PMC in it to plink unless I'm yote hunt'n then its Hornady's all the way in 55gr.....

I shoot 62 gr. through my Varminter. It likes that bullet over the 55 gr. although it still hits hard enough with a 55 gr.

 

[cobber]

How about a compromise? Every round of M855 will be microstamped with a warning: "This round is not to be used in a handgun for the purposes of defeating police body armor"?

Win-win.

Actually ALL ammo could be micro-posted: "Danger: Firearm ammunition can be harmful to children and other living things. Do not use this ammunition in a gun-free zone, to deter would-be rapists or to resolve gang disputes. Violation of this warning will result in a stern warning from the president and lots of hashtag tweets, new laws and regulations."

 

[cschwanz]

Nothing. Its terrible ammo to shoot and for competitive uses its worthless because ranges won't allow it.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Midwest has the same thing on sale for $100.

Bought 2 of those exact same boxes a month ago for $50 ea.. Nothing like a good ol' ban.

 

[Mr. Habib]

Can someone explain why this round is better than any other? I'm not looking for it and will buy anything that is reasonably priced to shoot. By "reasonable" I mean NOT what people are charging for this high-speed green tipped round.

It's not. M855 is crap as far as accuracy is concerned. Army accuracy pass/fail spec is around 6 moa. It has always amazed me that people paid what they did for this stuff even before the ban.

 

[red_zr24x4]

I won't pay anything for it because I don't need it.
If I needed it, I wouldn't pay anymore than what it was going for before this news broke.
I shoot 60gr. V- max in my bolt gun, and I have enough 55gr. FMJ for my AR.
