Well, 5.56 ammo shortages pose a problem, my Standard Products is an answer

Just got back from the range and I have an overwhelming feeling of guilt. Shot some .22 and some 7.62+39 the whole time I'm thinking I can't replace this which I can't because I doubt we'll ever see $3.19 box of 20 for +39 and the .22 I refuse to pay these gouging prices.
This sucks!! The silver lining is prices will have to drop supply and demand dictate it. All the morons who ran out an bought 17,761 of .22 and AR trainer will be flooding the market when they realize they wasted a ton of cash in a panic and they only shot the gun once when they first bought it.

Our local Wally World has a 1 brick limit on 22's and a 3 box limit on any other type ammo so you'd think that would hinder the buzzards somewhat but I doubt it slows them down much. Not a single round of 22lr or 223 that I saw my last trip, or much of anything else ammo wise, except for 19 boxes of 6.8 Rem. SPC. I was surprised to see they even stocked such an oddball caliber. Figure I'm the only one in the area with one. Good news is a friend that sets up at local gun shows phoned last night to say the ammo and component dealers were back in full force with a good supply of items, including 22lr and primers. Finally got those 209's I been after for months.

I just limit myself to 10,000 round of .22 at a time, IF it's the same lot. But that was before the feeding frenzy. Down to that much in toto for all brands and lots of .22 now. If I don't shoot I suck. If I do shoot, I'm poor. But money is easier than skill to obtain...
