[Ammo] 77gr 5.56 $370 for 500 rounds (74cpr) with code FIRSTBUY$5

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

For Reference I bought their 55gr range line 1k bulk and it was Igman 5.56 rounds. Ammo has to be good enough that they risk their reputation selling it, however they do in house testing on said ammo

Ammo has to be good enough that they risk their reputation

What reputation? Fuck Bone "federal HST is way too dangerous for civilians to own despite every other company selling it, we do give a hefty discount to law enforcement though because only they can be trusted with this device of mass destruction" frog.

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

Not calling you a liar because I don’t know the context of this post, but you can add federal hst to cart and checkout as a civilian without any issues…

[-]

Econolife-350@reddit

For many years they ew the only seller that would restrict the sale of HST to only law enforcement. Cool they turned it around after a long time, still think they're bootlicking dumbasses.

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

I appreciate the info. I’ve only known about them for about 2 years or so, but I’ll keep this info in mind.

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

How much was that? If it was sold at a discount from a regular Igman case then it’s not a bad deal.

Otherwise I don’t want to pay a premium just for the blind box aspect of this lol.

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

I have the membership but it was 43.5 cpr

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

Ehh how long ago, post-Iran markups? That same Igman is 49 cpr right now, but was 40.1 prior

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

2 weeks ago

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

That’s not a bad deal then! Since you’re a member are you seeing special pricing for the 77gr or is it also 375 for a 500 pack?

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

It is also 375 for 500 but it is legitimately the only product on the site that isn’t discounted for members. But I would just assume it’s due to being brand new product release yesterday or today or an accidental oversight

[-]

wlogan0402@reddit

What is OTM and why is 74CPR a good deal?

[-]

BlizzardOwO@reddit

Idk but description says this is range intended plinking anmo, idk why someone would pay 77cpr when 55gr at 40-50cpr exists for plinking lol

[-]

xangkory@reddit

55 gr works well when you are plinking a within a few hundred yards. 77 gr is for when you are plinking at 500+

[-]

BlizzardOwO@reddit

Does it really do that much of a difference? I don’t really have a range nearby that lets me shoot 100+ let alone 500+ I guess 55gr suits my situation (i live in a dense city)

[-]

Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit

depends on your barrel how much of a difference but yes, it makes a big difference

[-]

BlizzardOwO@reddit

Assuming standard 16” out of a 1:7 twist rate? I only own 1 AR that has a 1:8

[-]

wlogan0402@reddit

To be frank, Im sure any 223/556 can be hunting/defense ammo out of a 20" barrel

[-]

Wunktacular@reddit

Not even close. 4" of barrel length doesn't magically cause ball to expand like a hollow tip.

[-]

wlogan0402@reddit

I don't think 3000FPS will discriminate

[-]

Wunktacular@reddit

3000fps overpenetrates. Do you know anything about hunting?

I guess if it's that great you should be phoning the US military immediately. They need to sell all the MK18s and M4s and go back to the M16. Imagine all the money they'll save shooting 55gr over M855a1.

All those "professionals" are morons, we need to put the real experts like you in charge.

[-]

u_wut_m8e@reddit

Nah dude you launch anything out of a 20” and it will tumble violently within 200 yards. Expansion doesn’t matter when the rounds primary wounding characteristic is yawing/tumbling.

[-]

ecodick@reddit

+frag

[-]

Brutally-Honest-@reddit

Ball ammo is horrible for hunting. It's not even legal to use it for hunting in most instances.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

Depends on the game. It's usually unlawful to take deer with because DNR has a .30cal minimum for whitetail. For smaller game like coyotes and varmints, it'll do fine with decent shot placement.

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

Open Tip Match and unless it’s Frontier(and fuck that) I can’t find 77gr under 95cpr

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

But this could also be Frontier since they state it's made by someone else.

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

Yes if it passes there specs for velo, UNIFORM PRESSURE, and feeding amongst others I’d assume. why would a company risk their reputation on selling ammo that has been known to blow chambers up?

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

Igman doesn't make 77gr tho

On AmmoSeek RN, filtered to 77gr you have, in acending CPR: * Frontier * American Quality * Velocity Ammunition * Mead
\~~ 1 DPR line \~~ * Super Vel * Bone Frog Ammunition * Grizzly * Liberty * Phantom Defense * Black Hills
\~~ 1.5 DPR line \~~ * Badlands

And that's the 100 cheapest listings with no filters other than 77gr.

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

I will report back on what it actually is when it comes in!

[-]

Spayed_and_Neutered2@reddit

Just curious, what are your problems with Frontier? Ive had some good groups with it

[-]

HomersDonut1440@reddit

Frontier tends to be hot as hell and not consistent. I’m not a fan of it.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

Well and the part where it blows guns up

[-]

HomersDonut1440@reddit

Yeah, sometimes the “hot as hell” gets just a little too hot

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

Lil' spendy for mystery meat

[-]

thegoodsherpa@reddit

Far from mystery meat. Solid ammo

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

Who loaded it?

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

And it's 77gr, so not a lot of eastern European imports of that.

[-]

MidSpeedHighDrag@reddit

Honestly, my recent purchases of Vairog 77gr have been more consistent than AAC or Hornady.

With IMI no longer something I am willing to purchase, it's been my best option.

[-]

Rooobviously@reddit

This is kind of a hard sell. If it is frontier, I could buy a k from Sgammo for 67 CPR. I might grab some to compare to the fr262 I have.

[-]

Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit

Please report back!

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

For anyone else confused: this isn’t the well-reviewed Bone Frog in-house load. This is their Range Line offering which is white labeled mystery meat ammo from different manufacturers.

[-]

T0adman78@reddit

Didn’t I buy the ‘good stuff’ like 6 months ago for this price? We’re entering dark times.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

This is 77gr, which has way fewer companies pushing this out. Since they want to claim it's a "known manufacturer", that pretty much leaves Frontier since it's made by Hornady. All the other 77gr on the market are way smaller operations.

[-]

Left_Connection_8137@reddit

There’s plenty of 5.56 77gr OTM made by bigger companies. This could easily be Magtech, S&B, IMI, AAC etc.

Interestingly enough when you search for those parameters plus the listed 2750 fps the 3 things that pop up are Bone Frog, Sig Sauer Marksman, and Black Hills.

This isn't Frontier, since that is listed at 2820 fps.

[-]

AdvancedLuddite@reddit

Is Magtech making a new version of their 556C load with SMKs?

[-]

Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit

No, there are discount codes often that are better deals than the membership

If you’re a veteran you can get the membership for free.

[-]

lensiky@reddit (OP)

I’ve bought 3k rounds and saved $55 so $25

[-]

Past-Customer5572@reddit

Damn I literally just bought their other 77gr yesterday

[-]

MoneyisntR3al@reddit

The TMK's have more consistent expansion in tissue. I wouldn't be upset about it. Keep the 77gr TMK for SHTF and cop some 75/77gr OTM for training.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

Oh hell yeah, mystery meat MK262! With this pricing and weight, I feel like it'll be Frontier.

[-]

thegoodsherpa@reddit

Bonefrog is solid ammo

[-]

nopenope12345678910@reddit

Yeah their in house ammo, this white labeled stuff, no clue

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

I would assume there is a reason for the white labeling....

Like safe enough to sell, but not consistant or accurate enough to be considered match ammo.

[-]

GordianBalloonKnot@reddit

I can't shoot for about 8 weeks. Would I be fine to pass this deal up and wait for a similar one in that time?

Really I'm looking for a solid deal on .223 because that's what the indoor ranges allow and the outdoor ranges are all member only around my city, but I would take a solid deal on 5.56 as well

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

Unless you're doing something that requires the most precision you can squeeze from a 556, you don't need this over cheap 55gr fmj.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

This is 77gr MK262, which is sold at a major premium over the standard 55gr M193 or 62gr M855 you'd be buying for range ammo. It's also mystery meat (most likely Frontier) because they won't disclose the manufacturer, and there's not exactly a lot of companies using 77gr projectiles.

[-]

f0rcedinducti0n@reddit

SMK or non SMK ? Velocity?

Should I buy this and test it to add it to my 77 grain 5.56 chart?

[-]

Rooobviously@reddit

SMK is basically vaporware at the moment. Everyone is using clones (Hornady aeromatch, federal center strike)

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

What do you mean? Matchking bullets are not hard to find at all.

If they're on the commercial market, surely large ammo manufacturers can source them too.
