Factory 223 ammo hard to get
 

Just got my AR. Now looking for something to feed it for some good bang bang.

I am looking for the usual cheap stuff. Is it usually this hard to get. Cabelas/natchez/midway/cheaper than dirt, alot of it is Out of Stock, No back order.

Is factory ammo usually this hard to get ahold of?

I havn't ordered reloading components in a while, maybe I should stock up.

223 factory fodder is scarce to say the least in my part of the country. MY AR is a hungry beast but I don't feel like loadin the 1000 pieces of primed brass I have ready......

About the only reasonably priced ammo in shops near me is Ultramax and Wolf. I have no interest in shooting wolf ammo in a $850 rifle, and I've heard a lot of bad things about Ultramax though I have a few boxes of it lying around. I'll shoot wolf 7.62x39 through the sks, but even that has gotten scarce/expensive in the last year or so.

Timefor you toupgrade to a Progressive/turret press. ARs eat up .223 ammo as fast as you can load the magazines it seems.

I've been stocking up on ammo at the gun show at the Dulles Expo Center. It's back on March 30th, so keep that in mind. I've seen a lot of Guatemalan surplus, but not as much as a year ago. I still see a lot of Lake City SS109, and plenty of Federal as well.

If you ever come across the British Radway Green, think twice. That crap FTF's every single time in my BM M4A3.

Almost all the sites have wolf on "out of stock". I wonder if they they quit distributing it?

Get some RemingtonUMC .223 ammo, I saw a 50 round box for around $20.00.

Goodness man, for 500 rounds, thats 200 dollars. I am looking for some good cheap bang bang.

I could never get the Wolf stuff to group at all. Never two shots at the same spot.
