Deer John Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi all, Called into my local dealer for some more .223 ammo and he was out of stock. He said it had become much harder to obtain any rifle ammo because TNT had stopped carrying it and so there was only one courier licenced to carry it and they only had two vans so he could only get restocked when he had a very large order to place. Short of reloading, is there a reliable source of .223 ammo, and how much do you generally pay for it? Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Shredder. Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I smell bs, .223 falling off the shelves locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) There is certainly no shortage of .223 ammo but he is right about the shipping problems although I'm not entirely sure about the only two vans bit. Where are you? that's maybe the first thing to establish, it may have some bearing. More remote areas are suffering, no doubt about it. Then we can talk about strategies, and what other people are doing to get round it. Reloading is one answer but its not a short time fix.
