My local SportsmansWarehouse had a "friends and family" night about 10 days ago. I was ready to stock up on .223 FMJ. There were no big boxes of 200 or 1000 rds. Just the premium hunting/varmint rounds with 20 per box at fairly high prices. Disappointing. I purchased some powder and primers. There wasn't any good deals on boxes of 55 gr FMJ bullets either.
I've done business with him and have no complaints.

My local dealer cannot get 500 or 1000 round quantities of .223, and what he gets he sells for 50 cents/round!
Factories are 24x7 and still running short.
