I didn't see that deal.. I'll have to look again.

I'm a little confused. Wouldn't 400 rounds at 39.99/100 actually be $160?
That is basically the same price as 420 rounds of the lake city 5.56 that comes with the ammo can.

Yes but it also depends on what you need the ammo for? I'd prefer the 55gr for SD defense purposes

Good, you're in luck. Walmart also carries lake city 55gr boat tail 420 rounds in an ammo can for $159 + tax.

One is the 420 round cans of American Eagle M855 62 grain penetrators for $184.95 at Cabela's, and the other is the 500 round box of the same cartridge, loose packed, from AmmunitionToGo.com, for $214.95. The former turns out to be $.4405/round, the latter is $.4299/round....cheaper. But, when you figure in the price of freight, that better price goes up to $.4585/round. Now, I'm going to be near Cabela's tomorrow, and it won't be that big of a deal to drop by there and pick up a 420 round can......or two.

So even if you can get a better price per round, it doesn't always work out for the best when you figure in the freight. Just something to think about.

Forgot taxes at Cabela's, puts you at $.4762/round.

Lake City production 420 rounds with brand new ammo can and strippers at Walmart out the door for $.4217 per round.

Yes 4x 4 =16 Still, my bad.. Buit at WM, you can get it today and not pay Shiiping and Haz Mat.. just another option.

The ammo can with the 420 rounds of lake city green tip on strippers is in stock at 4 Walmart's with 15 miles of where I live. No shipping, no hazmat.

I go to the stores one by one due to find out that none of the stores actually carry the bulk ammo. irritated me off cause I wasted the gas.. I did call all of them but the people were putting me on hold for more than 5 min to see if they have it...It is not hard to see a giant ammo crate behind the counter. They were clueless on the phone to what I was talking about.

If you go to Walmart's website you can actually see which stores have it in stock. Select your store, if it says "out of stock" you can select to view other stores. Usually it will display about 15 stores (stores within 50 miles). Most of the stores I have found it in say "limited stock" which so far has meant 3 - 5 cases. Every store that I have gone to that displayed "limited stock" has had it when I arrived. At several stores I have had to ask them to bring it out from the back and have had to to show them on my phone that they actually have it in stock. After my purchase I immediately check the site again and it will show "out of stock" for that store. So the inventory update appears to be real time.

The last week is the first time I've seen it. I've had to ask for it - they keep it in the back.

Try Walmart - last night I bought 2 420 round cases of 5.56 M855 on stripper clips in a .30 cal can for $159.00 each. Just checked Walmarts site - 9 area stores showing limited stock - sku # is UPC: 0002946556378.
These are the green tip penetrator rounds 62 grain made by federal.
