Is it solely a matter of price or is there more in play?
Reason I ask is because lately I enjoy shooting the Speer Lawman 147gr and the S&B 124gr out of my Glocks more than the 115gr I have a few cases of on hand.
Inquiring minds want to know...

I shoot 115 & 124 grain FMJ loads from my fleet of Glock 17's & 19's without issue. I jumped on this deal due to the excellent price and because I've had great luck with CBC / Magtech ammunition in the past.
I shoot 115, 124 or 147 - what ever I can get my hands on. I tend to stick with 124 grain American Eagle or lawman for shooting 25 yard B-8's just to deny myself the excuse of blaming the ammo but otherwise what ever I can get free from the .GOV or cheap in bulk.
I've previously shot 2k rounds of magtech 115grain brass case 9mm with no issues.
Magtech, CBC (both Brazil) and S&B (Czech republic) are all owned by the same company. I've had good results in the past with magtech .38 special, .44 special, 45 acp as well as CBC 5.56 and 7.62x51 NATO.
My last batch of Independence aluminum case 115 grain had some issues (documented elsewhere on PF) so I am buying brass case while the price is right.
Overstock from orders placed in anticipation of a Hildabeast win mean right now is the time to buy cheap and stack deep.
Hotter loads (NATO or +P) seem to run best in the Glocks so I'm not immediately concerned if there are issues like weak ejection with 115 range ammo. Those people in Quantico specify +P FMJ as practice ammo for this reason.
Yeah, no idea how their inventory system works. Seems glitchy. One thing they get right is shipping. I ordered a case @1PM and had a tracking number @4. I don't know anyone who can touch that speed. Topgunsupply gets close sometimes.
Thanks for emailing me, bro. I wouldn't have seen it before they sell out if you hadn't.
Personally my favorite practice ammo is 147gr American Eagle.
For $160/case, I'm not complaining. I'd do more disgusting things for $160.

I thought I might try that next time after I finish the case of Lawman 147gr...though I seem to recall reading more positive comments regarding the Lawman than the AE as a companion for the 147gr HST. (Lawman was also a bit cheaper when I purchased a case last month.)

I want to buy this deal but, dang tempting. Hopefully this means better prices across the board.
Wolf Steel case .223 was $189 a case shipped with 10 off free shipping my my sportsmansguide card. Wish I had waited
I did pick up 500 wolf steel for 64.90 on a flash one day sale.
What I heard is that the # available reflects the cases they have open, and that the number goes up each time they crack a new pallet.
Yeah in hindsight I think I should've gotten 2 cases. Great deal. Hopefully it'll surface again. I'd sign up for SGAmmo's email list if you haven't - they occasionally throw out awesome deals like that. That's how I learned about that one.

Just ordered a case of that Magtech 9mm for a buddy that just got his first Glock...a Gen 4 G17, and needs training ammo.
I think it was showing 9 cases left at the time I placed my order.
