5.56 ammo price questions

▶What is a good price per round for 5.56 ammo?

Compare 5.56 practice ammo with the monthly Ammo Price Index figure at the top of this page, the median price per round of ordinary FMJ loads across retailers: anything under it is cheaper than the typical retailer's practice ammo. Defensive and match loads cost more by design, so compare them against their own kind with the load filter.

▶How is 5.56 price per round calculated here?

Each listing's advertised price is divided by the round count stated in its title. Prices are before shipping and tax, so a cheaper listing with paid shipping can cost more delivered than one with free shipping.

▶Is bulk 5.56 ammo cheaper per round?

Usually, but not always. Set the package size filter to 1,000+ and compare the per-round column against box prices; a sale on a 50-round box can beat a full case.
