Are there ANY bulk 5.56 bullets out there???
I have been looking all over the place for bulk (1,000 count or higher) 5.56, (.224 diameter) bullets.... Everywhere on the internet that I can find... They are sold out, no known restock date. Does anyone know what is up?
Is this a side effect of the run-on-guns? ( New guns need to eat too). Riot scare? Pandemic labor shortage? Something else? I haven't even tried to look for, 308 bullets yet... I suspect that my results will be the same.
Anyone know what is going on, or where a person can get a decent volume discount on these bullets? In a pinch I can cast a nearly endless supply of pistol bullets... But rifle bullets... I am at the mercy of the market... I can't make a jacketed bullet at home...

Ammofinder.com shows 5.56 in stock at several places
https://ammoseek.com/ammo/5.56x45mm-nato
Here was the cheapest 500 rds @ 0.60 per round ($299.99) https://greencountryammo.com/556-NATO-A ... redirect=1
It's been so long since I bought any but that doesn't sound too cheap to me.

Ignorant or Stupid, I'm not sure which is worse. If someone were stupid, at least they'd have an excuse for all the dumb things they say.

IANAL and neither are most people on this board, its just shows more with some than others.

You can't shoot a big enough gun to miss 'em dead.

You might try Widners https://www.wideners.com, I buy from them often good service. The last flyer I got from them they had bulk .224 55gr availible from 1K boxes up to 12K per carton. But the price on the shipping for 12K will make you wince!
