Saw Perfecta .223 brass case 50rd box for $18.97along with other calibers at Walmart and they had a red price tag which I was told means it was not ordered just shipped automatically. Searched in the Handgun forum as well and came up with nothing.
Thoughts?

Too expensive.  I've been buying at $8.94 from some area stores, but it's regional . . .

I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, though.

They may be trying to get in the game, 9mm was $10.97 and .45 was $18.97 both great deals.

It's believed to be manufactured by Fiocchi and the 9mm appears to be the same as BrassMaxx, another Tulammo brand.  Reports I've seen are decent and I've been buying as much 223 as I can at 8.94 per 50, which is a crazy price.  I bought a couple cases of the 9mm at 6.94 per box and I plan to hit the range this week to see how it does. I half hope it doesn't shoot well, so I have an excuse not to buy quite a few more cases - I could have had 6 full cases, plus a lot more in boxes if I was sure I wanted it.  It's soooo tempting.

It's a local price - there's some stores in PA, TN, TX and one or two other states that are running it on rollback at that price.  It's not widespread by any means, but I've managed to get about 1500 rounds so far, and think I'll manage to get another 2k tonight.

Yep, $8.94 per 50 here in NM also. Just picked up a few boxes today.

If there's anyone in TN willing to buy a whole heap of this for me, PM me please. I'm only about 10 minutes from the Tennessee border in NC but I don't want to make the drive and there not be any in stock. I don't think I could possibly pass up under $.20/.rd after tax. I'd be willing to pay the finder a case or two of their choice of beer

Wow, it was 19.99 here. I picked up 150 little while back. That's friggen cheap.

It's also around $19 per 50 rounds here in South Florida. I shoot 100 rounds of it every time I go to the range. Never had a problem, fairly accurate, not overly "dirty". It's actually the lowest priced 223 available in stores anywhere in my area. I buy 2 boxes almost every time I stop by a Wal-Mart. I like it.

Fuck yeah, I think i'll pick up a few boxes. Great review jmar93...hope your glad you have one more post. Your comment is shit.

ETA: On a serious note though, I just shot 100 rounds and it was fine. Good plinking ammo and if you can find it on a rollback price I would buy. .233 Perfecta/BrassMaxx/Fiocche....its the same round.

I've had no problems from Perfecta ammo. Shoots good enought that me and a buddy where hitting football sized rocks at 300 with the A4 clone I just put together for him.

Meh, none of the stores near me are doing it but i did stop by a random Wm in TN that was doing it while on a trip and picked up 2000rds... im sure its all gone now.

I picked up a box because the clerk handed me the wrong thing but I decided to try it for randomness.  The 55gr .223 fmj is $18.97/50 here locally in Virginia & the 9mm is $10.97.  Pretty sure "Perfecta" must mean inconsistent COL in Italian judging from the wide variety in seating the cannelures show on these (might be case length too- will mike the ones that have no cannelure showing vs the ones with a ton).  Will see how it shoots.  Sorry for the Ipotater pic, but these look all over the place.  If it was $8 a box I'd have fallen all over myself trying to clean them out at that price.

I bought a box a few weeks ago at walmart for 18.97. Find it hard to believe anyone would be selling it for 8.97, maybe they forgot to enter the 1 in the computer. I shot the whole box out of my Doublestar, they shot fine, no issues. Wasn't able to test the accuracy because it was 10 degrees out and I was wearing snowshoes and gloves. I've shot Fiocchi ammo for years and had no problems with it so if they're made by Fiocchi then I'd give it my stamp of approval.

Just bought 37 boxes of the 223  for $8.94 a box. 50 rds a box. Functions and fires without a hick up of the last 300 rds. Accuracy is fair but for this price only a idiot would complain.

I just bought 5, fifty round boxes of the Perfecta .223 for $48.30 total from the local Walmart
Other Perfecta ammo,
308 Win. 147gr, 20 round box. $6.94
9mm/50rnd box $6.94

I live where the 9mm is $6.94, the 223 is $8.94, and the 308 is $6.94.

A local pawn shop is selling the 308 for $14.50 and the 9mm at $12.50.

What a wonderful world in which we live!
