Good luck. You can find some high end stuff around, but "blasting" and "stock up" ammo is still flying off the shelves. Put in a backorder and wait in line as some comes and goes and never shows as "in stock".
I'm in the industry and our 223 brass is sold out past Sept already and we are turning away business left and right.
It started out all 9mm and a little 223 and now the 223 is the big mover.
Also - check your chamber. If you are shooting a AR and it has a "223 Wylde" chamber (stamped on the barrel near the receiver) - that means you can shoot 223 Rem OR 5.56 Nato in it safely. A lot of AR makers are moving to that chamber for this reason and sometimes the 5.56 ammo will hide on the shelf from the uneducated new shooters. If it is not stamped 223 Wylde or 5.56 Nato - do NOT shoot 5.56 Nato in it though.
I'd say 223 will be tough to find for the remainder of the year with crap like this going on.
Good luck!
