Where is everyone getting their ammo right now? I need to pick up a few thousand rounds of 5.56 and I don't want to shoot Russian steel cased ammo.

I just ordered some today, 5.56mm, 9mm FMJ & JHP

You should find a nice deal if you're buying 1000+ rounds

For ammo, check out Palmetto State Armory. Generally quite a bit cheaper than A4S, and shipping is about half ($12/1000 vs $22/1000rds)

I picked up a thousand rounds of ball ammo for about what I saw it at the gun show in VA a few weekends ago. Thanks for pointing out the site. Does anyone shoot steel plate with their AR's and if so where do you get your frangible ammo?

Also, has anyone seen any of the South African battle packs of 5.56 for sale on the internet lately for a decent price?

I shoot steel all the time, but I don't use frangible ammo...doesn't play nice with the compensators I use on my rifles and it's a lot cheaper to buy AR500 targets and shoot ball ammo than it is to keep buying frangible ammo and shoot at cheaper steel.

The steel I use as a target is 1/2 inch thick AR500 armor plate. I shoot it from 50 yards or more with .223 and 10 yards or more with 9mm/.40 cal. Hang the plate with a little bit of downward angle and always wear eyepro.

You can generally use 1/4 inch mild steel as a target for handguns, but a .223 will go right through mild steel like it was butter.
