What's my best bet on getting stock rifle ammo? 6.5....243...30-06. I've been looking for a month.

I'm in NELA. My job involves some traveling. I've been buying a box or two at a time at Spotted Dog in Columbia, and at Simmons in Bastrop.

Simmons has had plenty of every caliber I've looked for save 6.5 Grendel. Not always the particular cartridge, but always the caliber.

I’ve had to hit up the small retailers outside of the major city I’m in to find anything.

Usually can find 5.56 in 55 and 62 along with 9 mm and other calibers.

If you hurry, Rogers has some .223 in stock.

I know that isn't what you were asking about.

check the federal premium site Federal
Might have to check every few days and will take a couple of weeks to get it in but they've been having most ammo available

Also, it will take you a couple of weeks, but there is a guy that you can get it from.

His stuff is custom and extremely good. He has two of the cartridges you asked about (.243 and 6.5cm)

His website is unknown munitions.

His stuff is way better than off the shelf ammo.

Brand new Academy that was built close to the house in North Dallas. I was going 2-3x a week and getting stuff every time. I went this morning and there were 50 people lined up outside before they opened. My honey hole is dead.

Built my son a 224 Valkyrie AR and amazingly ammo for it is in stock everywhere. It’s about like a .243 with the 88 Gr Hornady ammo. He has killed4 deer with it so far.

Set up alerts on ammoseek for each caliber. You will thank me later but your wallet will not.

243 I have seen at Academy and online much more frequently than the other calibers you mentioned. It's all scarce, but 243 seems less scarce.

All calibers are available if you are willing to pay for it.

Yep, I need to stock up on 300 aac blk...found some online and bout some...hurting my wallet for sure. I don’t shoot it a ton but I’d still like to have a lot more. Got ballistic tips bc I want to shoot some deer with it.

Got some more 9mm off bulk ammo delivered today. Much cheaper per round.
