Who is actually shooting .223?

[2005Redfire6]

I see all of these .223 listings for ammo for about a $1 a round which seems to be normal at this point in time. I have shot maybe 50 rounds out of my AR since November or so of last year. I do not want to burn up ammo I cannot replenish. Are you guys actually out there shooting rifles chambered in .223 despite the ammo being so expensive and hard to find right now?

i am not shooting, buying, or selling right now at all

unless i really have to sell (i might trade but at this point im down to everything i would never let go)

Same here, I bought some more when the panic started but that was a few months ago.

Personally I haven't been, but the only 5.56/.223 I have right now is bolt action so it's obviously a little different then loading up 30rd mags in an AR. Still though, I don't want to use my ammo when I can't replenish it for less than $.75-1.00 a round. These prices are ridiculous.

Step 1: Buy a Press
Step 2: Stock up on supplies
Step 3: Never worry about it again

I have been contemplating doing that. But... Eventually components are going to run dry and you reloaders are going to be in the same boat as people who don't reload.

I see people at the range everyday dumping 223 mags

Nope... Saving my mags for when the dollar explodes. Traded an AR I wasnt using too. Traded for a USP 45 with 250RNDs of .45ACP... Not going to shoot the .45 either. I'll just get some range ammo as I shoot.

I was rattling off a slide fire in January with Hyata, Shrek, and Non-liberal.
