Good post! I will pay a little more to shoot my AR till the guys and girls over there are done! They have the need we just entertain ourselves with the 5.56 ammo.Alot of the .224 components are getting higher and harder to come by also,the market on brass and copper will have an affect on most calibers.I pickup what I can at a fair price and bite the bullet(no pun intended) and enjoy the freedoms they are overseas fighting for for us back home!
