Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles The primed 5.56 brass equivalent of Trader Joe's Two-buck Chuck

We've gotten a lot of questions over the past few days about a new product we are offering:

Brand NEW Primed 5.56 Brass for as low as 17.9 cents and free shipping. We have several types of 223 Rem / 5.56x45mm brass in stock, and some of it is more consistent than others.

The stuff we're running a one time sale on right now has a -NORMA- headstamp, but it's not the brass I recommend to folks chasing really small groups. This brass all in great shape, and what I've analogized as the new primed brass equivalent of Two-buck Chuck from TJ's -- It's a great value and it get's the job done. (For anyone who may be unfamiliar, two-buck Chuck is that Charles Shaw wine the used to sell for about $2 a bottle at Trader Joe's).

This particular lot of brass was contracted out for a line of 5.56 Ammo made by MFS Defense in Sirok, Hungary when RUAG owned Norma.

The important takeaway is that the tolerances and finish are not quite as good as the other norma primed brass that we have in stock. This is why it's less expensive than the other option. This brass is great for bulk loading, and still probably one of the best values on the market for loading 223 Rem / 5.56 today (basically pre-covid primer prices).

Last note, this was a single buy, and it'll be a one time sale. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

I just messed with a batch of Norma 5.56 once fired, making is into some 222.Rem. the body of the case is the thickest I've seen and there is quite a variation in rim size (diameter) I had to hit a couple with a file to fit the shell holder. I will say the were the smoothest forming brass I've worked with with no wrinkling even with out annealing. I might get some to make into 6x45s

I just noticed the low post count, has anyone done business with this company?

Raven Rocks is good to go.

Thanks @taylorce1

@erich we sponsor on AfricaHunting and SnipersHide as well. Feel free to reach out with questions (texting the business line is fine at any time and calls during the day are welcome).

About 3/4 of this lot had already sold but we still have a good deal of the higher grade primed 556 lowercase norma in stock which is also a pretty good price.

I just ordered from them. Package shipped quickly.

I have as well. No worries.

Less than 1/4 of the original lot left. All the orders from the big rush last weekend are in transit / delivered.
