I can't figure out why anybody would "stockpile" any of this stuff.

If it gets banned, you won't use it because you won't want to not have it. If it doesn't get banned, the foil hat types frick up the market.

You appear to be too young to remember the AWB of 94.

There you have it. Clipped 5.56x45 ammo.

His basis is the fact that NIJ rated body armor can be defeated by most rifle ammunition. Hard plate can take M2AP but multiple hits will defeat it. He's alluding to the fact gun-control organizations want a purely performance-based interpretation of armor piercing instead of the current material/intent based definition. Since NIJ Type IIA body armor is only rated to stop .44 Magnum and is easily defeated by most centerfire rifle ammunition, such a standard would make most centerfire rifle ammo "armor piercing". As the law currently stands his statement doesn't carry much weight. Now keep in mind research is ongoing into lead substitutes for rifle ammo in the chance the EPA or some other entity regulates lead out of use for such purposes in the future. Many of the best choices involve tungsten alloys that, without an exemption, would be considered armor piercing under the current standard. The Army's "green ammunition" program actually did a very good amount of research on suitable substitutes though some here probably criticized it without understanding.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell all of the idiotic assholes that have cleaned out all of the bulk .223 both on local store shelves and online to chill the f out.

We are under a run right now.

Nothing online for bulk ammo in between 20 packs and 1000 packs.

Please stop. You are playing right into their hands.

Man, you assholes are ruining everything. I now can't buy a Ruger 10/22 because of no ammo, and now its an AR15. And I would really like a nice Ruger 10/22.

Gotcha. So when the OP referred to "armor" he was talking about "body armor." I guess I've seen so many tank shows on tv lately that the idea of "body armor" didn't cross my mind. NIJ is the National Institute of Justice. The M2AP load (30-06 round w/ a 165 gr bullet designed to pierce armor) has impressive penetration....>15" of timber.

Lot of .22 LR up here. Local place has CCI mini-mags by the pallet. Decent prices too.

There is .22LR online. Just keep an eye on SG. There are 500 round bricks for .08/rd over there at this moment.
