Any interest in a Group Buy of 5.56 62gr M855?

kozball:
Rod over at Moeller Arms has one of the 840rd cans in stock. I'd bet that the price is fairly close to $300-$320.  Give the local boy a call.

FarmerRick:
This thread sure makes me miss the days of getting 1k rounds of Federal XM193 shipped to my door for $182.   :(

Do you remember if it's the 62 or the 55 grain, Doug?

Buy 16 or more and get it down to $139.95.

I'd be in for one can if we can get it down to $139.95 + shipping.

ditto, maybe 2 for me

OnTheFly:
Let me work on this a little more.  I was going to contact Brownells, PSA, etc. and ask how much we would have to order to get the price down to $139.95 + shipping. 

The problem, as Dan W. pointed out when I PM'd him about my idea of a group ammo buy, is shooters tastes for ammo are SO diverse, that getting a group to agree on the same thing may be next to impossible.

I have a 1:8 twist on my Wylde barrel, so I was looking for a heavier bullet.  For close quarters work or zombie annihilation, some 55 grain lead core would be fine too.  Though I would prefer to engage the zombies from a much further distance...less likely to get bitten that way.  ;D   Another consideration is the brass.  As I understand, Lake City is pretty good stuff, so I thought that might be enticing to some.

So what weight bullet would the interested parties be partial to? 55gr, +55 to 69gr, +70gr?  Or are your needs more specific?
