Just tell your LGS you want 1,000 rounds before you'll buy the rifle :D

"uncommon"

You can barely get .308 brass these days and bugger knows when 2208 will be in stock anywhere...

I think the Worlds uneasy military situation is causing some shortages . The USA is sucking up a lot of production of the stuff we use even the powder we make. Maybe we should all convert to 7.62 x 39 because there seems to be plenty of that around the World .

It's hardly the rarest cartridge in the world but I have few problems getting ammo for my 7mm.

Might be 6 few months between purchases but buy in bulk at the time and no drama.

What is happening is the production of some civilian ammo components is being reduced to make more capacity to produced other military stuff .

Like Hornady stopping production of certain projectiles to free up machines to make larger amounts of Military calibres .

It has to have an effect on the market .

Buying pre-emptively and stocking up blunts the problem I guess.
