my .223 is useless

I went to Walmart's website and searched for .223 and it told me what stores had it in stock. When I found a store with it I made a beeline straight to it before it disappeared. I bought 600 rounds yesterday.
Get there early in the morning. If it's not on the shelf have them look in back in the warehouse. That's what I had to do.

oh well if you want the most accuracy out of it, you'd probably have to reload anyways
if you need brass i got a couple hundred pieces, ill only charge you 150$ buy it while you can

ive got plenty of brass, over 900 cases, also have plenty of powder and primers too, only problem is my dad might get a little pissed that im hitting up his stash lol, but i thank you for the offer bud
reloading my guns sucks, my deer rifle only holds 6 rounds, pistol is a single action and we all know how a benelli SBE2 reloads, owells maybe i can say i at least tried haha

Go look at gunbroker. I saw federal 55gr going for $400 for 500 rounds.
yea that gave me the lulz, that's ok tho I'm looking into a tactical Remington 870, i just got 20 boxes of buckshot @ 9.99 per box of 15

I haven't been able to get 5.56 even before the full retard market ![[angry]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/008.gif "Angry [angry]")
Every time I go for m855 it's sold out before I get there. I have 600 rounds of various .223 (Fed American Eagle/Tactical, Remington, Tula,Wolf, Win PDX) but only 100 of Winchester 5.56 q3131a1 Sucks because my SIG 556 prefers heavier grain 556 with it's 1:7 twist but all I've been able to shoot through it is .223 55gr

Good luck finding .223 bullets right now.
Generally though I agree.... mats make it easier to hedge against this shit, because you can lay in like 3000+ rounds of mats for the price of what it would cost you to buy 1000 rounds of premium ammo (think Privi and not Wolf trash) at the old non-stupid prices. It might be better than that, I'm just being conservative.

Good luck finding any bullets right now, not just .223. My normal suppliers of plated pistol bullets are out of everything.
What are "mats?" Not trying to be funny. I don't understand what you're referring to.
Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.
It is whack to find this stuff. I'm beginning to question whether or not it was a good idea to sell my M855. But I was paid 96 cents a round for 2520 of them I guess I can't turn that down.
$0.96x2520 = a lot of moolah.

Ammo and guns will come back soon....I keep hearing these manufactures are stockpiling to flood the market again hopefully it will lower prices
Manufacturer's stockpiling? No. The manufacturers have huge backorders. Some, like Stag, have stopped taking new orders all together.
No, the supply isn't going to get better overnight.

I was referring to mostly ammo. Guns esp "assault rifles". Will be back ordered for a while
Ammo manufacturers and distributors are backordered as well. They are already working overtime, but buying more equipment and building new facilities costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time.
