Has .223 Brass become hard to find?

[Gunmedic]

Hi All,
As the title suggests, I have been noticing a slight difficulty in getting 223 brass, no problem with Lapua, but the Winchester and Remington lines seem to be somewhat scarce.
Any body have the same experience?
Take care, Gunmedic.

I think even once fired is getting hard to get as who keeps it anymore.... most I have seen are just throwing it away now.

I keep it out of my bolt gun because it is not beat up, but other then that everything i run thru the ar goes in the bin.

Just find a range that the RCMP use...go with a bucket the next day.

I know if I ever get an AR it's getting a soft brass catcher.

Gary,
If you don't mind taking the Primer Crimp out of Once Fired brass, there is/was some in the EE for like $25/1000

I Keep all my .223 brass, but I'm cheap I even pick up the odd pieces left at the range when someone has been there with their AR.

Thanks for the help, keeping my eyes open.

 

[Why not?]

Gunmedic,

PM me your address and I will put some in the mail to you.

I've got a kitty-litter bucket (5gal) half-full in the garage of 5.56 and .223.

Frankly, it doesn't seem that scarce - around here, anyways.

Why Not's a gentleman. Whatta guy!

Not at the ranges I visit, the ground is littered with it. I don't bother picking it up anymore as I have so much.

A lot of the guys where I shoot ask if anyone wants their .223 brass. I always police up my own brass, and if there's some there that others do not want, I'll take it as well.

.223 Brass hard to find

Why Not,
Man, thankyou for the generous offer!
I have 300 coming, and should be here today, I hope.
I have thought of using range brass etc, but I am resizing them for a wildcat, and have hoped to use new.
Thanks again, Gunmedic.
