Part of the "RITA" program (Readily Identifiable Training Ammo) - I found about 600 rounds of this stuff from someone on here a year or so ago. I've heard it performs close to match grade, and the cases are just purple-dyed nickel plated brass, so you can reload them. Definitely makes it easy to find your brass!

Wish you were closer - I'd probably pick up a few boxes just to for support.

Of course, I picked it up to run in my Spike's Tactical Snowflake...

The purple paralyzers!

Still have lots left and have regular .223 and 5.56 as well

I'm confused! What makes them training rounds? I see 62 grain hollowpoints. Are they frangible or some other nonsense?

 

[HighLine]

Simply put they were made as part of the R.I.T.A program for government agencies. It's primarily the purple tinted brass that makes them easily identifiable for on the range that classified them as a "training" round

how much of this do you have left?

 

[HighLine]

About 40 boxes left

So what's the point? To make the brass easier to see? Why not just use duty ammo for training and get greater discounts for volume. Sounds like a good way to drive up costs for little to no benefit, but I have been known to miss the obvious .

 

[HighLine]

Yes to make them easier to see. Again designed for Government agencies. Imagine how much easier police calling at the range would have been in the Corps? Its honestly not that much more than other 62gr open tip .223. Its not for everyone though.

I admit the only reason I looked at this as was for grape flavored ammo. You got me curious

 

[HighLine]

Still have a good amount of 223 and 556 in stock

Will you ship? I live near Olympia and dont wanna drive to Oregon for ammo

 

[wabbithunter]

So does it mean it doesn't hurt as much when you get shot with the Purple Training ammo?

We can but shipping costs can be very expensive. If you would like I can get a quote for you

I highly DO NOT recommend trying it lol

Actually, the purple stuff supposedly stings a little more that regular brass ammo, but I hear getting shot by pink ammo is by far the worst..........

 

[Hayharnel]

Yep pink ammo is a motherbubblegumer

Afterwards you will have the urge to buy new window treatments.

Afterwards you will have the urge to buy new window treatments.

And that can sting enough to make you wish you had died..........
