Well, the events of the last two weeks make it clear that BLOAT will be the order of the day until furthur{sic} notice.

I can get 5.56 and 223 ammo but it is so darn expensive right now, and I need some range time!

This clearly is a case of selling the rope with which they hang you. Federal, Winchester, Nosler, and any other ammunition manufacturers certainly have a right to sell to whomever they please. But they should realize they are selling to a gorilla that hates the product in the hands of citizens. If the ammo manufacturers are indeed in cahoots with the feds then they are certianly not our friend.

BLOAT is difficult, haphazard and expensive ( I recommend gunbot.com to look for ammo).

In the meantime Defy, Resist, Evade, Smuggle, and Sabotage (DRESS) To clarify, do not sabotage in such a way as to cause ( even inadvertently ) loss of life. Confuse, disable and mislead the domestic enemies of our country.

This ought to get me on someone's watch list, so while they are watching this old feeble man the rest of you act elsewhere.

“5.56 mm and .223 are the same.”

Really? You’re going to start that on this thread? Go actually read the specs on both and get back to us.

LOL! Nobody around here is an ammo pedant. Nobody much. Well, me.

Not quite the same. See .223 vs 5.56 - What You Don't Know Could Hurt You.

I’ve had good results with Golden Bear 62 grain .223 in my AR.

Brass coated steel case, feeds fine and while not as clean as the good brass stuff, it is noticeably cleaner than the WPA.

No problems with WPA except for being dirty, Tula doesn’t feed well for me. 5 out of a box of 20 didn’t feed properly. Get you killed in a crisis.

You can safely fire .223 in a weapon chambered for 5.56. The reverse is not always true.
