The US Army is transitioning its standard issue rifle caliber from 5.56mm to 6.8mm, a move that will significantly impact ammunition production at facilities like Lake City Ammo. This transition, the first in 63 years for rifle ammo production, means the Army will cease producing 5.56mm by the end of 2022. This shift is expected to affect the civilian market, potentially leading to increased prices and reduced availability of 5.56mm and .223 Remington ammunition in 2023.
