Question Good Deal?

A local private dealer has a case of 1k Win Q3131 55g FMJ for $385 out the door. Being new to the 5.56/.223 world, is this a good deal?

Also I'm contemplating getting in to reloading, so would these cases be re-loadable after I shoot them?

Thanks for your help!

That's a few bucks higher than surplus stuff....but not out of reason i guess. Yeah, they should be re-loadable.

A case of surplus is like $330.

Is that $330 shipped to your door? Also, how is the Wolf brass cased ammo?

Thanks!

I ordered 2000 rounds of prvi partizan 5.56 M193 for $688 shipped from wideners. So $344 shipped per 1000. A 15% price increase is incoming in June.

Would prvi be considered Wolf in brass casing? Made in Serbia. Lot of people on AR15.com say they have very little problems with this ammo, pretty good considering the price. Any cheaper you would have to go with the steel cased stuff, which isnt good

Thanks, as I could not remember what it was called. The dealer here also lists Prvi Partisan 55 grain FMJ for $350/1000.
Which would be a better deal (quality/price/ease to reload) :
Win Q3131 for $385/1000 or the Prvi Partisan for $350/1000 ??

Thanks a bunch!

I'd get the Prvi and be happy. That price i gave is not shipped because they are local.
