  • 5.56/.223 softpoint ammo locally

    Im going to DFW gunrange on monday with a group and wana bring a couple of my ARs but dont have any range friendly ammo at the moment. I also dont wana spend a fortune for about 200 rounds. Anyone know a local place to get some before then? There are no gunshows this weekend , or at least none I can find. Just want some cheap reloaded softpoint. Thanks for the help guys.

      I dont like shooting steel case. Would rather have brass reloads.

          Get some of the Monarch softpoint from Academy. Usually around $4/20. Not great ammo, but it works for range fodder.

            This isn't the cheapest out there but they are local and will meet to deliver. Price includes tax and you get a 3% discount for cash.

                  I read a comparison several years ago, and monarch ammo was found to be one of the most reliable and accurate ammo types out there. It even outpaced federal and winchester, which is surprising. This was their greenbox brass cased stuff.

                    For some reason Monarch ammo is almost impossible to find at most places.

                      If I'm not mistaken, the US contracted the manufacturer of Monarch to supply the afghan/iraqi armies with ammunition for their small arms. That could quite possibly be the reason.

                            According to my data there's only like 1 or 2 ranges in the metroplex that lets you shoot FMJ rifle rounds.

                              4.99 is for FMJ. 9.99 for soft point. It seems like pretty decent ammo.
