re: .223 Ammo

I am personal friends with the head of Federal Law Enforcement Sales. I had lunch with him two weeks ago. He told me that if a large law enforcement agency placed its yearly order today, often millions of rounds, the order would be filled in anywhere from 6 months to a year. It will take several years for supply to catch back up. Supplies will deplete over time and prices will continue at current levels or higher. To illustrate this most State Contracts concerning ammunition have been voided by the manufacturers after 2/28/12.
