Cabela's: Herter's .223 62 gr. HP Ammunition with Dry Box

Need opinion of this ammo. Is it good and is this a good price for 500 rounds.
Thanks for any input.

Cant say anything about the .223, but the 762x39 is repackaged Uly, which is great stuff.

If you are close to a cabelas, they have loose boxes , try a couple. If not, check walmart for the White box with black writing, same stuff.

It is steel-cased.
Lots of use can gum up your chamber.

I like the Federal 62 grain brass-cased GI ammo. It is packed in stripper clips, 420 rounds to the GI ammo can.

Both Academy and Cabella's sell it.

Academy: 159.99

Cabela's: 169.99

Either way, it is less than fifty cents a round, and you get to keep reload-able brass, stripper clips, and a GI ammo can.

For a few cents more, go first class!

Be well.

Thanks for the info. I need to buy hollow point ammo because the range I use will not allow fmj for rifles.
