hi-techammo.com has some random 5.56, some pulled some new. pretty good prices on surplus powder too. great place to get your "plinking" componets cheap

Ditto that. I've just used the last of the WC844 I bought about ten years ago from them, I seem to recall it being under $50 for 8 lbs.

Dan at Hi-Tech has ALWAYS been helpful and responsive to emails/calls.

Stuff's packed well and ships fast.
