Introducing Prvi Partizan Military Surplus 5.56 & 7.62 NATO Ammo Shipment at SGAmmo

I'm really not in the business to lose 20-somthing percent. Guys... the markup on ammo by the case these days is almost nothing, its a game where we try to sell thousands of cases a day and making $10 to $30 a case on them, not selling a hundred cases and making $100+ each, it just does not work that way

Chances are, this ammo was condemned for sitting in the heat for 10 years. The US will condemn ammo for sitting out in the heat, much sooner than that.

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

@@donwyoming1936 10 years is conspired the normal 'shelf life' for ammo for combat us, That is when the factory warranty expires and governments typically destroy, demiled or sell the ammo as surplus. This is normal. Sitting in cases on a pallet out in the 100 degree heat does not hurt ammo, that is not how that works in reality. That said, The Jordanians would have stored this in explosive magazines, which is like a bunker covered by earth to keep the temperature reduced and stable

[@2AToday]

This is great but I need it to be sold at $0.30 per round or less. Can’t stomach even $0.45 per round (current price on the site). For $0.45 per round it would have to be on clips, in bandoliers, 7 bandoliers in a new M2A2 ammo can, two can in a wood crate, sealed with chicken wire. Do that and I’ll pay 45 cpr. Side note: why hasn’t anyone ver sold ammo like this? Closest is on clips in bandoliers, but no wood crates.

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

30 cents for M193 is not a realistic price to expect at this point, could it ever be possible again...maybe. Is it likely...no, it is not. The ammo factory would be selling at a loss to even sell it to me at that price. They simply cannot make 5.56 ammo for that these days, and if they cannot make new ammo for that they are not going to sell recently made surplus for that price either. It costs the factory about 30 cents per round to make 5.56 m193, but they have to pay 11% of the first sale in Federal Excise Tax (FET), so to break even they have to sell for 34 cents or so, and to make a decent profit they have to sell for 40 cents or so, then guys like me have to mark it up a little bit to to turn a profit. Realistically newly made 5.56 should retail at about 50 cents a round or or less 3 cents

Great that’s a ton of ammo now you get to stick to us Americans for 4 times what the Jordanians paid for It. This foreign made crap should cost 1/4 of what American made carp cost.

[@Brimwald]

Jordanians bought it in 2015 in bulk. This is 2024 after mass inflation. These are some of the lowest prices on the market and free shipping. The owner said he makes between $10-30 per case, so he's not ripping anyone off

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

That is not correct, the cost of PPU ammo is going to be basically the same as PMC, IMI , CBC etc. The real net cost to the factories to to make 5.56 is about 30 cents per round at today's material and labor costs, maybe a little more in the USA, Australia, and EU countries where labor rates are very high and a little less in some countries. For the US commercial market there is 11% FET (excise tax)as well. For it to be profitable to the factory they need to sell for 40 cents per round in the commercial market due to FET. Plus on military ammo they have to performance test and certify to mil-spec, and if it fails the whole lot is condemned, which dives up cost. This is why government / military usually pay even more than we do in the civilian market, commonly paying 50 to 75 cents per round for 5.56 ball. The Jordanians probably paid 50 cents to 60 cents per round for this ammo, and in no way are you paying 4 times more. If you actually went to a major ammo factory and watched what went into extruding a shell case from start to finish you would walk out and wonder how they ever make money at all, it is an extremely slow process with 12+ steps on annealing and drawing,over and over about 4 times each, then headstamp, sizing trimming, cleaning, drying, priming and the machines work extremely slowly, that is just to make the case before it is loaded

The factory may have got it for pennies on the dollar, but it cost me $390/1000 for the M193. Once you back out the shipping cost I pay to get our customers 'free shipping' at $23-ish per case, a 3% fee to the credit card, the $4-$5 for box/tape/labels and labor to pick and pack the order, I make practically nothing on it, $18 a case on the average single case sale, maybe slightly more shipping to very close stands and considerable less shipping to the coastal states, on 2+ cases I give a $10 per case discount to offset all of the savings and then some that I get from shipping in 2 cases 1 package, and on a 10 case price I pass on another $10 per case discount to pass on the savings from the hundred-weight discount. As far as Winchester LC vs PPU, this is sort of apples and oranges.

Gonna need some 7.92x33 soon with BD44's coming to the market soon..

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

8mm Kurz is a caliber where supply is very very limited. Get it when you see it, the new guns coming are going to make that situation worse, not better

[@Lure-Benson]

Due to the coming of the replica STG 44 I have started building AR 15 upper for sale in 7.92x33 Kurz. Reloading supplies in bras and bullets + reloading dies for 7.92x33 Kurz now is not any problem to get from sites like Graf & Sons or MidwayUSA Hornaday and RCBS make 7.92x33 reloading dies now. I bought from Graf & Sons 1000 PPU 7.92x33 Kurz brass and 500 PPU 8mm 125 grain bullets. Hornaday was making ammo in 7.92x33 Kurz

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

@@Lure-Benson hand loading that caliber would be wise if you are into it, because only PPU makes the case and loaded ammo and they do it once a year in a very small run, the loaded ammo always runs out for 6 months, and that is just from the guys with MP44 machine guns buying it, you go and add thousands of new semi's to the market and it will get so much worse on ammo supply. IMO its a little foolish to chamber new guns in this round for mass manufacturing, they should have just retrofit to 300 blackout chambered barrels

Not to cone across as snarky or anything, but do you genuinely think that prices will be going down anytime soon?

I hope I am wrong because I could definitely stand to save more many on ammo, but I feel like things tomorrow will never be cheaper than that of yesterday.

[@woodsghost9088]

@@taylorratliff405 on prices, I think I'm seeing training classes thinner than in the past and I bet ammo sales are down. Certainly lower than expected in January 2024. I think the economy is crashing and people can't afford stuff. Same with what I was seeing for guns going on sale. I think the total situation is people don't have money or are already stocked up. With the Trump shot, people found room in the budget, but I think that soaked up the last of the free room in most people's budgets. I could be wrong. It's what I think I'm seeing. And I don't really expect prices to go a lot lower. As said, raw materials prices have gone up. I don't think anyone will sell at a loss.

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

@johnadams673 LOL, maybe math is not your strong suit or you have a different understanding of what gouging means or are just leaping to assumptions, but it cost me 59.5 cents per round, I sold it for 67 to 70 cents per round, and I paid the shipping at about $23 per case, and a 3% merchant fee, and box/tape/labor to pack it the right way. I also absorbed the loss on about 70 cases that were loose and unmarketable, although we will link those and eventually recoup that initial loss. If you crunch the numbers I made about $18 a case on the average single case order (5%), or less on the 2+ and 10+ case discounts. If this is gouging then what isn't? Maybe your dreams will come true and socialists will take over the ammo business and do it for free, but I doubt it, and if making 5% is a crime then lock me up.

This is 10 dollars cheaper than new lake city. Why would anyone pay that for old 5.56?

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

Referring to the 5.56 as a comparison (7.62x51 Lake City M80 is much more expensive), this is full mil-spec ammo, sealed primers, case mouth, fully performance tested and certified by the factory to be of combat grade before it was shipped to Jordan. You don't get that with new commercial sales material Lake City M193, that ammo is unsealed and only certified to be SAAMI spec (commercial spec)

@@SGAmmo_LLC So new 855 or 193 from lake city isn’t to the same quality?

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

@@craesh1001 New Lake City M193 ammo that you get in the commercial market is going to have unsealed cartridges with no case mouth or primer pocket sealant, and will have been manufactured and tested to meet SAAMI spec, which is less strict with more allowed deviation than performance testing a lot to meet to full mil-spec. The M855 they make at Lake City for the commercial market may be the same story if they just want to run the line to make ammo for the commercial market, or it may be diverted military contract ammo that failed some attribute of full mil-spec, which is usually diverted for something super trivial, but still it is what it is, the diverted ammo is usually sealed case mouth and primer pocket and is actually better ammo than what is made for regular commercial sales material, it just might look ugly, or have sloppy sealant applied or some green paint splattered on it, velocity a hair below than the acceptable range, etc etc, this ammo meets or exceeds SAAMI spec, but did not meet full mil-spec. Don't get me wrong, Lake City makes a great product, but there are some cost saving shortcuts often used to make the stuff made for the US commercial market that would not be acceptable to military end-users

Rims being torn off tells me you need to turn down the gas adjustment to off then make a half turn for each shot until you get the direction of extraction you need on firing.

[@PrayingPanda]

The 5.56 ammo is 45cpr +tax. Still about $35+ too expensive. Not saying you paid/didn't pay this but 5.56, in 2015, was about 29-32cpr.

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

Its really not realistic to expect those sort of prices today, and in 2015 brass case 223/5.56 was closer to 40 to 45 cents per round at the end of the Obama-era where politics drove sales and the ammo market was fairly strong and where 5.56 was priced for the most part from 2008 to 2016, the dip in prices happened in the bust from 2017 to 2019, bottoming out in 2018 and 2019 on around 28 to 30 cents per round on 5.56 on average, with some deals at 26 cents and ranging up to 33 cents per round. That said, the factories operated at a loss at those prices, depressed pricing like we saw in 2017-2019 is why Remington went bankrupt and so many other factories came close. That was the 'bottom' of the market, not 'normal' pricing like we see these days, and it is important to know the difference when you set expectations for pricing

[@PrayingPanda]

@SGAmmo_LLC maybe that's what some stores sold it at but online, bulk brass cased 5.56 ammo that most gun owners bought were as low as 29-30cpr. I know because I and plenty of other people were buying for that price. It's true that the 26-28cpr range didn't come around until 2017, and shipped prices went up after the wayfair decision, but smart shoppers weren't paying 40-45cpr unless they were buying small quantities from gun shops. Not bulk online like what you're selling. Remington went bankrupt because of gross mismanagement not because of selling ammo at a loss. I'd need to see some proof on that one because this is the first I've heard anyone make that claim. Fact is no one was buying their guns except for maybe some, 870s (which had rust issues), r700 (trigger debacle and expired patent didn't help) and the tac13/14 (but the Mossberg Shockwave was better). Their 1911 was a disaster and they didn't come out with anything new. What they did release were "me too" products usually late or lower quality licensed copies. They didn't keep up with the times. Recalls and lawsuits didn't help. Ammo was probably the big thing getting AND staying in peoples hands.

[@PrayingPanda]

@Yettiattack true but wasn't that their insurer? There the ones who settled, not remington.

[@SGAmmo_LLC]

@Yettiattack That number sounds big bill to pay, but would have been absorbable if it were profitable to make ammo and guns for Remington. The facts are the ammo and gun markets were crushed in 2017 to 2019, driving prices down to ridiculous lows on ammo, maybe guns too, but I did not follow that closely. Because it was not profitable to sell their product for so long, the impact of the law suit was one of the things that drove them out, but the big picture view is of a marketplace that was not profitable, coupled with running into some of the pitfalls of business, and the company cannot absorb the loss of an unexpected setback. If you can't make money doing something, and you do not have cash reserves, and you get hit hard with an unexpected expense, then you go bankrupt, and that is what happened in the bigger picture, but certainly lots of other details in the mix as as to 'why' well.

I make between $30 to $10 a case on either of these items depending on the quantity discount after I pay the shipping, credit card fees, box/tape/labor to pack the order. Really no way to do it for less. Its funny how people assume there is some sort of huge mark up on bulk ammo, but unless the market demand is crazy and everything is sold out, its normally a business of making 3% to 8% on full cases, some times 10% to 15% if I get real lucky. The greed kicks in when the demand is off the charts, and it has to to some degree to balance out profitability in the long term
