Is The US Government Creating The Perfect Storm For Another Ammo Shortage In This ONE Caliber?!
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.
