Buy recommendations Deciding on ammo
So I’m between two options right now.
I found a deal from a private seller for 1100 rounds of 556 and 223. Totalling about 600 rounds of brass cased 556, and 500 rounds of steel cased 223 for 550.
And online FOC has 1000 rounds of green tip PMC 556 for about 625.
So deciding which option is better, private seller ammo was stored in its original boxes in the basement with a dehumidifier. FOC stuff is of course brand new.
What option would you guys pick?

Id go whatever’s cheapest unless I need every round to precisely do certain things. Ie. PRS, Hunting
I’ve seen .223 for as low as $580 / 1000 privately
