Canadian suppliers list :.223 rem and 5.56mm ammo updated
- Thread starter zykopat

Ok, old thread but it sounds like people are having problems getting .223Rem. Was/Is there a shortage? I haven't had trouble getting any factory stuff. LeBaron, Dante, Baron Sports, CTdM, even Crappy Tire has some. Prices are about the same and similar to what's been posted here.
The only thing I ever had trouble getting is Varget and Hornady bulk FMJ's but not fully assembled ammo. Varget is always out of stock everywhere here and the bullets have been B/Oed from Hornady for the longest time. Had to get some bulk SP's last time.

This maybe out of the box, but what if a group of
shooters put in a bulk order.
(Lets call it a CGNs order)
Say 50 or 100 000 rounds.
(just a number)(maybe more, maybe less?)
Would any of the supplier give a better rate?
If there are any suppliers reading this,
what would your number be?

There is very much a shortage of 223/5.56 ammo. The increased training and deployment ammo required for the wars(A-stan and Iraq) are putting some significant strain on the supply. Couple that with the increased cost of raw materials and now you know why there's both a shortage and a price hike.
Factory ammo often isn't difficult to source. It is difficult to source in large quantities.

That explains expensive, but not rare. Aren't there DOD armouries that only turn on the ammo taps in time of war and remain offline during peace time letting the commercial manufacturers make up for demmand? From the looks of it, as soon as I get my hands on my new .223 rifle, I'm going to have to start stockpiling myself.
I'm looking for a couple thousand rounds of 62 gr 223 if anyone sees any
+1.
I need to find a few thousand for this summer myself.
