    .223 Ammo At WalMart

    Just got back from WallyWorld and bought 10 boxes of Perfecta, 55 gr., non-corrosive, boxer primed for $8.94/ box of 50. That works out to $.1788/ round.

    I thought that was pretty cheap for a box of 50. It's as cheap as a box of .22 LR, when you can find them at a sporting goods store.

    If you reload, it's really a pretty good deal.

    I'm not sure if this price is a mistake, or they sell for this, normally, but I bought them while I could....

    Been a long time since I saw brass .223 for that price! Never heard of "Perfecta", but if it goes bang when you pull the trigger and hits the target that would be all that matters.

    That's what I thought. I figured, for what you were getting for the price, I couldn't pass this up. Since I only went to one store, I couldn't check and see if this were the normal price, or just a computer pricing glitch.

    Maybe someone else can check in their area...

    I've seen a lot of Perfecta brand around here.

    Less than 18 cents a round ... sweet! I may have to look for that at my local Wally World.

    I've shot their .45 acp and it was fine. I believe it is turkish. I am sure their .223 is good too. I may pick some up for my next range trip if it's still around at that price.

    I just checked the box and it states it is made in Italy and distributed by Tula.

    It could be. Before I bought it, I asked the clerk to check the price and when he did, it came up $8.94/box. That's the only reason I bought 10 boxes. Couldn't pass it up at that price. Gonna go to a different Walmart, tomorrow, and see what they have it listed for.
