whats a current situation with .223? Is it getting any better?

[enorbit3]

Not that I have seen. Anywhere from .60cpr to $1.20

I saw 5.56 blanks for .30cpr and thought that's what I used to pay for m193

no... best you can hope to find (if you get lucky) is ~40 cents/round. But realty is closer to $0.60 to $1/round. total insanity!!

I have not seen anything lower than $0/60 a rd for M193.
But it seems premium ammo prices have not changed much.

M193 brings more than M855.

Locally I’ve only seen lead-free hunting ammo and the occasional V-Max type loading. Roughly $17-$25 for 20/rds.

1) Unobtanium
2) NO.


YOUR best chance, is in the Marketplace, or Armslist. That's the only 2 places I'm finding ANY ammo, at ANY price.

M193 brings more than M855.

That is because

- More m855 is made for military contracts
- m855 can not be shot at most ranges and is illegal on any federal land in CA

I have a LOT of ammo and not really interested in buying at these prices but I have cut waaaay back on my shooting/training.

Target Sports is down to 77 grain Norma for $1.20. If you must, you can easily resell it later for not that big a loss. Gotta keep it factory packaged though.

Saw it for .70. Bought 1000 Small Rifle Primers, waiting on an overdue order for bullets. Even at inflated primer and powder prices , it’s .24 cents to reload . Just got my press today. Giving up on background checks and shortages.

I've got way more primers than I need. I thought about selling some but then I remembered the damm hazardous material charge.

It's crazy. I wouldn't mind helping out some less fortunate new gun owners, possibly sell them some ammo. It's just not worth the trouble dealing with the back ground check.
