Have never wanted anything to do with an AR however with the current events I bought one yesterday. It's a ruger 223/5.56nato. Where is the best place to buy bulk ammo and would you buy 223 or the 5.56. Found some 223 locally 820 rounds for 400.00 buy or pass. Be safe

unless you have 223 only bolt action rifles or something like that around the house that you should avoid 5.56 use in it makes no difference to the 5.56 which you buy it will feed them both the same.

I prefer soft points but you pay more

.223 is standardized by SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute). 5.56 is a military round and is not standardized. Manufacturer's of 5.56 MIGHT load their ammo hot - but I don't think any do. More powder costs more money. If you look at the velocity, .223 and 5.56 seem to be the same. I just buy .223 even though my rifle is rated for both.

Check out Gunbroker. I've bought ammo off there without any problems and at a good price even with the shipping.

There are several ammo search engines out there. Some even calculate shipping. Shipping is the big deal. It can really screw up the price you have to watch that. Here are a couple, there are many more with an internet search.

ammodepot is another good one.

I had ordered 100 .223 rounds from cableas this past weekend. Somehow I was the chosen one and it was cancelled from cabelas side with no reasoning.

Midway has 820 rounds of 556 for $400.

X2 I'm sure I'd NOT want to rely on the cheapest ammo I could find for self-defense, but its ok for practicing IMO.
