Ammo from the 1980's should work perfectly fine as long as it isn't corroded. If she can get it at 50 cpr, I'd say that's a good deal right now.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:44 pmShe had never bought 5.56 before, bought a little at retail because it was there. Her rifle isn’t finished yet. She has a friend who has a lot more than a good start. She wanted to know what a good offer might be for a little more. But it’s old, from the 1980’s.
I wasn’t going to make her feel bad, as I don’t know anything about rifles. I wasn’t even sure where to put a decimal point or if there was one, it called NATO right.
She said this rural store even had Creedmore ? for sale, is that a rare thing.

Re: A friend scored some 5.56. Did she pay too much?
Right now, anything under a buck a round is pretty decent. That said, I'm not buying any ammo I don't absolutely need in the short term at these prices. Eventually, prices should come down to reality, I hope.
