I just got a new Rick River Arms AR-15 and I am wondering if anyone knows of a cheap place to order .223 rounds so I can go out and have a little fun without it costing an arm and a leg.

I was just talking to a guy the other day who has an AR and he said that it is impossible to find .223 at a decent price right now. He said the war was the big reason, but ammo in general has gone up a lot lately due to metal prices being way up. Good luck finding some though
Go on line checking for 5.56mm ball.It was a couple years ago I bought two cases of 5.56 which figured out to be about 3.00 a box. It was Lake City Ball.If I remember right I got it from www.midsouthshooterssupply.com or www.natchezss.com .Yes it's safe to shoot 5.56mm in a 223.
See other topic posted concerning 5.56 in a 223.
I have also heard 223 is very hard to find nowdays. The same might be for the 5.56mm.It's doesn't hurt to enquire about it.

.223/556 ammo is scarce and the stuff that's worth shooting isn't cheap anymore, probably won't be until things settle down in the middle east a bit.
FWIW, I bought an AR-15 a few years ago because it was much cheaper to shoot than my M1 for highpower competition. I just recently bought a .22 target rifle to practice with because .223 is getting too expensive to shot regularly. I've heard of a lot of folks spending $500 or so on .22LR uppers for plinking and marksmanship practice because right now it would pay for itself in just a few thousand rounds.
