M855 panic has hit the ODT

[MilSpec308]

I'm just sitting back and watching cause I'm into 300 blk anyway and don't even own a 5.56 anymore. If I find any 855 I'm going to buy and sell it on here for exactly what I pay for it or maybe less just to piss the flippers off.

lol...classic.

Just what ammo are we talking about anyway? I don't know what this M855 stuff is. Complete shells, or just the bullets? What brands?

From what I understand, the projectiles are known as SS109 whereas the complete shell is known as XM855. It's made by numerous companies, with Federal Lake City being a major one along with PMC X-Tac, etc.

Money makes the world go around, it's sad. At the end of the day only the simple things in life matter. Life is what you make it, not how much you making.

Just for giggles I searched pricing and ALL .223 has gone up.

Screw 'em, I ain't buying.

PSA had the best deal going on XM193, but even they've gone up to $7/20 from $6.50/20 today.

On a side note...I wonder what, if any, effect this will have on AR prices.
