200 yards with 20 inch barrell all in 9 or 10 ring. Feeds well, no misfires.
Bulk Ammo is as good a price as anywhere in Commiefornia and the ammo is the real deal (Posted on 5/1/13)

I served 27 years and you would not beleve what i have seen the M855 round go threw. 1/2 inch steel like butter at 200 yrds. Thats what i call personal protection you cant hide behind anything. (Posted on 4/26/13)

Best Damn AP ammo ever.

I've already purchased 5,000 rounds of this steel core AP ammo for my 5.56 M4s and ARs. It's the best penetrating AR round that I've seen even compare with Nato AP rounds. The steel cored tip inside the FMJ makes this particular ammo VERY, VERY nice for instance, if someone was hiding behind a tree 150 yrds. away.....this ammo IS going STRAIGHT THROUGH A 12" diameter oak-- just to tag them behind it!!! I love this ammo; although it's expensive as heck -----But it's a good feeling having 30, 45, 75, and 100 round mags. ALL stocked with this AP, ass-bustin' ammo!! (Posted on 4/24/13)

This steel core ammo is the most penetrating ammo that I, civiallianly, has had the privilige to buy.

This ammo is GREAT! I actually got 1090 rounds in my pack--so there went another 30 rd. mag. filled, along with my Sure Fire 60 rd.stickmag.!! I've loaded up on 5000 rounds of this 5.56 ammo.....and i gotta say, "it feels great sitting on 60-100round magazines slap stocked with true AP rounds! NOBODY has that right to take that from us!!

The shipping was as expected, 3 days later in my hands. The price is high, but the cheapest I have seen on the internet for this quality of ammo. The round count was 27 short, which did not make me happy as I was splitting the order with 2 other co-workers & it was my idea to go the 3-way split, so I took the short end of the stick. Customer service at Bulk Ammo gave me a credit on the 27, but I would rather have gotten the rounds. Overall, I was OK with my purchase & would buy from Bulk Ammo again. (Posted on 4/23/13)

This company sets the standard for satisfying the customer! I usually never write reviews, however felt compelled to following my experience after my first order with you. Recieved shipment in only 3 days to my door step. Nicely packaged in a strong box. Quickly loaded all my mags up, with only 3 rounds short....not a big deal for me overall and recieved a credit after contacting customer service. Haven't shot yet, but all rounds look to be in excellent condition. Thanks, look forward to future business with you! (Posted on 4/12/13)

Fastest shipping I have see. Ordered on a Sunday night and arrived Wednesday. Couldn't ask for better service. Best price per round that I could find. I will be ordering more ammo from Bulkammo.com. Don't hesitate ordering. I bet the price will be going down as the demand goes down also. Granted we won't be seeing early 2012 prices anymore, but this is the best out there. (Posted on 4/10/13)

This was my first order from bulk ammo, and I can say that the entire process was outstanding. I ordered on Monday, and it was waiting on me when I got home from work on Wednesday. Having split the order with my boss, I was pleasantly surprised to find the count 15 over (which my boss will never see). If I had placed the order this same time last year, I'd have to say that the price was poor, but by today's standards, it is very good (Posted on 4/3/13)

Received all 1000RDS. I don't buy from anyone else anymore. 3 day shipping of quality ammo. Legit MILSPEC. If they list it, it's in stock. None of this putting it in a shopping cart then told "backorder". Price is slowly creeping down. I noticed it's listed about $40 cheaper today then when I bought it Saturday. How 'bout that too, order it on a weekend/Saturday, gets here Tuesday. Hooah. (Posted on 3/26/13)

Nice to see that the ammo that was advertised was actually in stock and I got it in 3 days. Ammo count was 27rds short but that is not the fault of BULKAMMO. BULKAMMO quickly credited me for the missing ammo and I would definately buy from them again.

Review by Alec

Ammo Performance

With the rush on 5.56 and .223, I decided to get a bulk box to tide me over until prices come back down. Bulkammo has the best price around for 1000 rounds of M855 green tips; everywhere else I've looked is out of stock or charging more than $1 a round.
My box came with 963 rounds, so the measure-by-weight system used by Federal/Lake City shorted me almost a mag's worth, but all in all I'm satisfied with my purchase.
These green tips cycled nicely through my S&W M&P-15, and were plenty accurate for my needs. The brass looks like once-fired so they'll be great for reloading, but I'm sure I'll buy from here again.
My order was filled quickly, and shipping was fast and discreet; the ammunition came overboxed in a nondescript box with the required ORM-D sticker for live rounds. (Posted on 3/14/13)

My first transaction with BulkAmmo was fantastic! The communication was great and the shipment arrived in two business days...amazing. The price was okay given the times, however (I almost hate to mention) but I only received 972 out of the 1000 rounds ordered. I noticed another buyer had the same "shortage" experience so maybe it's normal. After all, Every round counts. (Posted on 3/12/13)

I tried the 5.56x45 and was very pleased with it. It works great in my Ruger Mini-14 Rancher but I understand it may be too hot in a Ruger Target. Had a slight issue with Ammo but customer service was excellent and I am now very pleased. The price was higher than I had hoped, but try and find some elsewhere. (Posted on 3/7/13)

Fast processing and shipping from Bulk Ammo all around Great Service. Ammo came clean and all in great shape. Cant wait for 2 things though, 1 the price to come back like it was and 2 R&R so I can empty most of these rounds down range. Otherwise cycled a couple rounds through and shot clean no issues.

Lake city ammo runs in your 5.56 AR like 98 octane in your V8. If the desire out weights current prices. This is the stuff to run. Not that bore eating bi metal jacket steel crap from Russia. Careful what you load in your weapon, it could end up wearing out your bore and choking up your gas block. You get what you pay for, just wish we were at 05 prices.

It doesn't get any better! if you're looking for ammo that has proven itself in combat and numerous penetration tests on Youtube, this is the ammo for you. I had been buying various cheap 223 ammo until i had a little money, splurged and bought a box of the "green tips". I can only say, "Wow" what a difference. You won't be disappointed.

If you need true NATO spec. ammo for your AR this is about the best you can buy. As most people have found out over the years, L.C. is the best. If your firearm is marked 5.56X45 make sure you use 5.56 ammo in it. If it's marked 223cal. use only 223 ammo in it. (Posted on 6/1/11)
