Factory sealed might be referring to the Primer, I noticed it has a sealed primer. The ammo can should keep it in good shape for a lifetime if stored correctly.
It wasn't specified on their website but the primers being sealed is probably what it meant. I put a desiccant pack in the can so it should be good to go. Thanks for stopping by.
I have a good deal of this put away that I picked up a few years ago, its hot and good stuff, Works very well. You got a decent deal on it too as its drying up or at least from what I have seen it is.
I use to have a bunch of military surplus ammo years ago but I shot it all up and never replaced it. I thought I could just buy more at the same price but I was very wrong lol. This ammo was a little more than I wanted to pay but I figured I'd better buy now than regret it later. I'll be hitting the gun shows as much as I can to get more. Thanks for checking it out.
Do you highly reccomend this ammo after haveing time to test it? Thank you for your help. Also do you think this company produces good quality 7.62x51 ammo based on your experience with the 5.56? Thank you.
This 5.56 ammo ran good. Pretty much like any other military surplus 5.56. I haven't done a dedicated accuracy test but I was keeping a 2 inch MOA using iron sights with no bench rest. I've never tried the 7.62x51 but I'm sure it would run just fine. The military surplus stuff isn't the most accurate but it functions just fine. Thanks for watching and the comment.
In my experience, the only time you'll come across "bad" M855/SS109 is when you buy Federal. There does seem to be truly rejected lots that make their way to civilian hands. I've bought cases of stuff that'll only pattern 5-10moa
I figured I'd better get it now just incase. Yeah their ammo shipping cost is a bit high. I'm looking for dealers closer to me so I can get shipping to come down. I have a few buddies that said they would go in on ammo orders so I might try that out. Thanks for watching.
Yeah I didn't get any deals on this stuff lol. Living in Illinois and having to send my FOID card info to purchase ammo is kind of a pain in the ass. Classic has my info on record and it's easier ordering from them. I've been checking out other places though. Thanks for watching.
That's a great price. I really need to set up an account with SG Ammo. I get their emails on deals and other stuff. Since I live in Illinois ordering ammo is a little different. We have to mail or FAX our F.O.I.D. card and drivers license info to the company before they can ship ammo to Illinois residents. I checked Classic (where I bought this ammo from) and they are asking $440.00 per 1,000 round can and that's not including shipping. It's great ammo but not at that price lol. Thanks for watching.
metaltrooper62 they have it set up on their website ,set up an account pick out what you want then it will ask to get a pic of your foid from your phone!!i live in Illinois too their site was easiest for me to use

no it doesn't. Primer seal is called " non-corrosive " seal. SWING AND A MISS !
Never heard that term before, so I'm not sure.
I've got about 400 rounds left of that stuff. It's good ammo. Great score !!!
Thant's good to know. Thanks for watching.
I think factor seal means it has a band that needs to be removed to open up the metal can. At least that is what one website said.

I bet you're glad you bought this when you did considering the shortage we've experienced the last few years.
Glad you got it now..might be more expensive later. Cool ammo can..classic is a bit steep on their shipping

awesome!
Thanks!
this stuff is 259.00 free shipping at cheaper than dirt right now.
4-2-17 $214.32 shipped .
Nice score, a Lil high but it is now yours.

not too high for steel core. he paid .46 cents a round . That's 9.60 / tax included, if you compare to a 20 round box.
metaltrooper62 You had to send in your Foid info? I didn't have to do that...
stuff looks clean and quality for surplus. Our gov't paid ALOT more than you did. Then gives it away !
Yeah I'm sure they did. I've seen stuff they pay for and it's crazy. Thanks for stopping by.
I assume this was stuff that was made extra because they were assuming there was going to be rejected lots.
Got it on sg ammo for 320 after shipping

Oh wow! Didn't realize it was that easy lol. I'll check that out for sure. Thanks for the info.
Awesome ammo,but classic firearms is a ripoff
