How much is .223 Wolf worth?

Redhawk5.5+P+ · February 7, 2013, 03:17 AM

I've been trying to unload 7 box/20s at $30. Are these people stupid at $4.28 a box, or are these really that bad?!!

These are the camo box's called military Wolf.

NWPilgrim · February 7, 2013, 04:55 AM

Lots of high volume guys shoot them. Keep advertising. There may be sticking case issues if you shoot a bunch of lacquered cases and the brass cases. Either clean the chamber after the Wolf or shoot the brass ammo first.

I would think someone will scarf that up from you soon. Are you wording it clearly that it is $30 for all four? Maybe they think you are outrageous thinking it is $30 per box!

How much is shipping adding to the final cost? I wouldn't pay much for that crap but then again, I'm not down to my last 3 rounds, either.

At last weekends gun show I sold 2 500 round cases of wolf 55fmj steel case that's been sitting in the back of my closet for 10 years for $160 each. They were happy to find some 223, and I can't complain.

Beretta686 · February 7, 2013, 09:16 AM

Some people are just paranoid about Wolf, but I love it. I shoot Wolf almost exclusively in my pistols, rifles and subgun. I run the 5.56 through multiple uppers on my SBR AR-15 (you know the one's that always jam) and I've never had a hiccup. The 9mm shoots great out of all my 9mms and same thing with the .45.

I'd buy it from you if it didn't involve shipping.

Ben Towe · February 7, 2013, 10:52 AM

Any idea how much shipping costs would be to TN?

zxcvbob · February 7, 2013, 11:14 AM

If I hadn't bought a couple of thousand projectiles and 16# of powder in October (I got lucky, I guess), I would buy them. $5 is a good price *if* you can even find it. I think you could get $7 each pretty easily.

Redhawk5.5+P+ · February 8, 2013, 07:24 PM

I should have mentioned, I've been trying to unload them in the Sporting goods at Walmart. I offered them to people that were looking for .223. It's a fair price but 4 or 5 people just didn't show interest, but yet they would have bought the Tula .223 if Walmart had any for more money. Weird.

Redhawk5.5+P+ · February 8, 2013, 07:25 PM

To the people here that want to buy these, I'm not shipping them anywhere, to much BS for such little money. Sorry.

Beretta686 · February 8, 2013, 08:48 PM

I have to admit I'd be a bit hesitant to buy from someone who comes up to me at Wal-Mart offering me ammo. It just seems a bit....... awkward.

I'd sell it at a gunshow if I was you.

Not enough money to be maid. I go to Walmart all the time I live one mile from there. I guess the "Spssst buddy" hasn't worked worked yet.

I'm gathering up some more unneeded ammo to sell to, I guess now's the time to get rid of it.Walmart here I come. Anybody in Vegas need a new box of 460 Rolands?

zxcvbob · February 9, 2013, 01:48 AM

Do you have a free "local shopper" paper that has a Sporting Goods section? I sold a few boxes of 9mm ammo I didn't want that way.

Post it on an national gun list.

Around here Wolf is selling for $350 per 500.

I said $350 per 500

Wow, $00.70 a round!! I'm selling my Wolf's at $$00.21 a round and these fools aren't buying them. Maybe if I bump them up to $40 they'll be knock on my door all day long.

I guess $30 is to good to be true.

LOL

jimmyraythomason · February 23, 2013, 09:36 PM

Wow! 140 rounds of ANY .223 would easily bring $70-80 or more here. It would have sold as soon as it was posted at your asking price!.

BillyJack3 · February 24, 2013, 10:26 PM

All I can picture is you in a trench coat, pulling it open with boxes of Wolf hanging from the inside.

. Psssssst. Hey buddy.... yeah you.... I got a smokin' deal for ya'. Meet me out in the parking lot...

Bamashooter · February 24, 2013, 11:39 PM

.15-.20 cents a round is all that crap is worth and I wouldnt buy it at that price. Ive stocked up since the last election plus I reload and currently have close to 3,000rds on hand with the supplies to make 1,000 more. All brass cased. I wouldnt shoot garbage thru my guns. I would leave them in the safe first.

Redhawk5.5+P+ · February 26, 2013, 02:23 AM

I paid closer to .14 for these.

Justice06RR · February 26, 2013, 02:46 AM

$5/box of 20rds is about the right price for those. You actually have a good price, but not everyone likes the steel-cased ammo for their AR's. I used to run them in mine, but it sticks and causes jams after a while so I don't use steel-cased anymore.

Post it on local board like Armslist, or maybe sell it to a gunshop or pawnshop. You can probably still fetch close to $10/box if you did that.

Skans · February 26, 2013, 09:28 AM

That's a good price in today's market - next gun show you go to bring them, leave them in your car, carry a sign advertising ammo and price - you will sell it - pay 1/3 your cost of going to the gun show!

Man did those folks get a deal. Idiots here in FLA fighting at gun shows over 223 for a dollar a round, that's right $1,000 for 1k of 223 and buying a $700 AR for $2,300 and thinking they got a great deal

Redhawk5.5+P+ · February 27, 2013, 03:14 AM

I do find it hard to believe I haven't unloaded them yet, but I'm not trying very hard. I look pretty normal, I'm not that scary looking, but some people used to think I looked like I was in the Mofia. LOL
