Is the bronze cased ammo ok to shoot? So far I have been shooting remington green box, and I have a stock pile of Wolf polymer coated stuff too. No problems. But I think I recently saw PMC bronze cased ammo? It was cheap.

If it was called PMC Bronze it is brass cased. Bronze is just the name of the ammo. Lots of good reports about PMC Bronze ammo here.

LOL. Sorry, thought it was bronze cased. I'm an idiot. Good to hear that it is ok ammo. This BRD id a killer. My life consists of "ammo or accessories, ammo or accessories, ammo or accessories..."

You're not an idiot. There are so many different types of ammo with different kinds of cases out there that it's hard to keep up with what's what.

My life is just like yours. ARs and accessories are on my mind 24/7.

PMC shoots good, if a little underpowered.

But given you've only been shooting Wolf and Remington UMC then it is still a step up.

Wolf ain't so bad, but Remington ammo might be the only brand I'll never put in my AR. Very sloppy QC.

If you are in Arkansas and near Fort Smith or Little Rock then drop by Academy Sports. They sell Monarch ammo at a great price. The Monarch steel case is as good as the Wolf and the brass case is top notch stuff.

Or if that's inconvenient then keep checking the Walmarts in your area for their Federal bulk 100 packs for $40. Primo ammo there at a great price.

Keep checking the ammo deals thread in here too. Prices continue to drop, and supply seems to be slowly increasing, so deals abound with a little internet snooping! thumb.gif

Monarch ammo is good stuff. I shoot the steel case and the soft point brass.
