I order American Eagle 55 grain FMJ from Natchez. I never let the supply dip below a thousand rounds. You can never predict when the government (local, state or federal) may restrict ammo sales. Once they do, its too late. Hypothetical example- terrorists set off a nuclear explosion within the US. Local anarchy occurs because of strained government resources. In the government's infinite wisdom, ammunition sales are cut-off to law abiding citizens. I understand ammunition sales were restricted during the Cuban missile crisis. More recently, K-mart barred ammunition sales for a few days following the World Trade Center attack. Just a few real life examples.
.223 noob question
Hi all, new to this forum.
Don't laugh too hard, but I'm pushing for a Mini-14 for Christmas for myself (or at least some funds from the wife to help towards one), and with the recent ".223 evil caliber" scare going on, figured I might as well start stocking up on it now before it and the rest of the 'high powered military nuclear rifles' are banned. Especially don't laugh, seeing I live in LA, where they just banned the 50bmg, and are pusing to ban all sales of 'hunting calibers' like 00 buck!! I also figured I might as well order/buy it on the National Ammo day, Nov 9th.
Anyway, I know about Zero, zilch, nada, about the .223 variations and am looking for a generic decent quality, inexpensive brand/grain/type of .223 to order before I start all the reading up on it. Any basic ideas of where to start?
For instance, if someone asked me the same question, but regarding 10mm auto for pistols, I would direct them to Georgia arms 180gr gold dot jhp's. Cheap, reliable, effective for SD and practice.
thx! :usa:
