Hey guys, I picked up a bulk pack of 5.56 today made in Denmark. I know nothing of this company (HMAK), and I was hoping someone would know something about it.

It's a little pricey new, but it was all I could find. At least I didn't pay the crazy ammo panic price. I actually bought a LOT more than I really wanted, because that's all they had in the back and didn't want to break it up lol. Packaged in Sept. 2012 (apparently, that's what the box says), it looks like this:

It's the cleanest looking M855 I've ever seen. The boxes are individually sealed and each box has 5 10rd stripper clips with each stripped sealed in plastic packs.

So, does anyone know anything about this stuff? If the ammo is as good as the packaging, I'd say I lucked out And got a good deal!

I'm not telling that either lol. I might go get some more if its good stuff and it's the only place I know of with Any 5.56. It was definitely not on the self, they had it in the back and I had to basically beg for it.

Guys, instead of PM'ing me about price and location of sale, can we please stay on topic? I'm just wondering about the ammo itself, if you've had any experience with it, what it's like, etc.

Thank you, sir. If you guys want some, go get it there! I'm still on the fence about keeping all it, personally. It looks very nice and it's growing on me the more I think about it lol.

ETA: hm, there really isn't much information there. I can't believe they don't have a website or something.

I'm assuming you got it for less than that price.

I agree, if the ammo is as good as the packaging it should be good stuff.

I've also decided that To Me, this stuff is "investment grade" ammo or a TEOTWAWKI cache due to its packaging, so I'm hanging on to it.

Probably just telling people where they can buy ammo rather than bogarting the information.
