The US Army is transitioning to the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program, which includes the XM7 rifle and XM250 automatic rifle, both chambered in a new 6.8mm caliber. This shift is impacting ammunition production at the Lake City Ammunition Plant, with a significant decrease in 5.56x45mm NATO production expected as resources are redirected to the 6.8mm.

The US military's shift to a new 6.8mm caliber rifle, away from the long-standing 5.56 NATO, is predicted to cause a significant shortage and price increase for 5.56/.223 ammunition. This is due to the military's reduced demand for 5.56 contracts and the potential closure of ammunition plants that previously supplied both military and civilian markets. The availability of civilian versions of the new military rifles is also uncertain.
