Construction is underway at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant to expand production for the new 6.8mm military rifle caliber. This expansion coincides with increased demand due to global conflicts and critically low military stockpiles. While NATO rounds will continue to be produced, the focus is shifting towards the 6.8mm, which is expected to phase out 5.56mm and eventually 7.62mm NATO over the next 5-10 years. This transition will impact civilian ammunition availability, particularly for 5.56mm.
