I was loading up some magazines with 223 yesterday. My ammo was from Freedom Munitions. Just decided to see if they had any as had not purchased from them since 2016. They have remanufactured (which is what I had bought from them before) and I liked. So, I ordered some. Afterward I went to ammoseek and see they were near the cheapest per round and the only ones near the cheapest that were brass casings. I ordered on Wed and it is scheduled to arrive here via UPS tomorrow. The other nice thing is shipping was only $10.xx for 500 rounds. Not like the $13 shipping I paid for one box of Critical Defense last week. Yes, the prices are stupid high, but if you need/want the ammo, this is one alternative. I have no affiliation with them, but thought the price and shipping would make them somebody to look at if you need/want some 223.
