I'd hardly call this a "deal" in the true sense of that word, but the price is better than I've seen recently at other sites with .223 in stock. Ammoman.com sent out an email today (5/1) stating he has .223 Wolf Classic 55gr FMJ steel case with polymer coating for $219.00 a 1000. It's posted on his website as well. My understanding is that he doesn't charge shipping or add other charges so $219.00 is what you pay. He was at $209 just a few weeks back, and his site reports that another price increase will be coming sometime in June. This stuff is for plinking. In other words, you get what you pay for.
