There's also a larger pack of M193 (for a fraction of a cent cheaper per round), and also SS109 for 27 cents per round which isn't a bad deal either.

Yes it's good. Steel ammo costs more than this!

IMI is good, they're used by the Israeli military, they're just getting to the market here so I imagine that's why their prices are low. They are mil spec.

Reading through some of the reviews at Cabela's, some of the bad reviews are "in my custom gun", "brand new gun", one guy shot it in a 223 and had "popped primer". Which is a known issue while firing 556 in a 223 gun (from the increased chamber pressure).

Here's an article on them: https://www.shootingillustrated.c...mmunition/

I shot through a few hundred rounds of their 45 ACP last week in USPSA, no issues

Got some. IMI is excellent. This is the best deal for brass cased 5.56 I have seen in years.

Is this a better deal than cheap wolf ammo that I usually get by the 1000?

Heck yea. This is premium brass cased military grade ammo.

Not the cheap steel cased Ammo Tula or Wolf.

Wolf also makes premium brass cased military grade ammo. It's called Wolf Gold.

It's been as cheap as $113.99 for 500 rounds shipped, which is a better deal than this one (though that was several months ago last time I saw the price).

Not so much better I'd pass this deal up if I needed it and couldn't get that one- but both ammos work equally well.

Yeah I only buy gold wolf but paid close to 280 for 1000 ammo

They've been running this IMI ammo on sale every few days for weeks with free shipping on the 1200 round cases. Definitely a good deal for brass 5.56 on both the 55gr and 62gr.

I figured everyone knew about it.

Cheap Steel cased,bi-metal jacket is NOT reloadable

This IMI Brass cased is reloadable,which is another Plus

You can reload it,or sell your extra brass

FWIW, it can be reloaded, it's just not easily done. The Berdan primers are the biggest part of the problem.

Except the Wolf ammo I'm talking about isn't steel cased, and isn't bi-metal. And it isn't Berdan primed It is brass cased though. And is reloadable.

Which makes your comment about it really odd.

Like I said, if you need ammo right now, this deal is a good one, it's only a few cents a round more than I paid for the similar wolf stuff described mid-last-year.
