Is this item in stock? And is there an estimate on shipping times? I've read mixed reviews and am curious because this is one of the cheapest prices per round I can find for this ammo.
Answer:
Hello Zach! We have 48 cases of this ammo in stock as I write this sentence. Orders are usually delivered within 1 to 5 business days after shipping (depending on the distance between your home and Fort Worth). This is pretty much the same M855 issued by the Army. It's not perfect by any measure, but I've always gotten my money's worth out of it. We're also offering it in a much smaller quantity if you want to test it out before really committing: https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/winchester-lake-city-m855-5.56-nato-ammunition-600-rounds-fmj-62-grains-green-tip-wm855150/fc-amm-1027-820.html
