Like the title says, were the hell it the cheap (.556) price ammo that we were promised at the beginning of adopting this round. I do not reload, so shooting $1.00 a peace 220gr sub's in not practical. Any time frame or up dates on this. I have an expensive rifle now that I can not afford to shoot.
On a side note; I am a little worried that the slow production of the supersonic ammo will delay, slow, negate the Mass adoption of this round.

Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
Ammo production is at full speed. But true, not fast enough. I can't tell you when more cheap 123 grain ammo will be available - this summer it seems. Subsonic is running until back orders are filled. Then supersonic. It was not intentional or that we think subsonic is more important. The delay is because we changed to a longer supersonic bullet and new tooling is being made so we are stockpiling subsonic while that is happening. I should not really say stockpiling as it is all pre-sold.
Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
It will all happen. it's only 6 months or so since the introduction of the round.

The planned introduction was the Shot Show in mid Jan. So 3 months, but it was known early due to being seen at a military show.

Ironic that slower moving ammo comes faster...

Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
For discussion sake, how much ammo has been produced and what is the current production capacity (weekly or monthly) of the factory?
Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
I would estimate just over a million cases have been made. Probably about 750,000 loaded rounds, the rest is component brass. I can't get into the production capacity of the factory. Plenty of this ammo is being made at this point and forward. Subsonic ammo is no longer in short supply and supersonic will be taken care of in a month or two for certain customers and then around summertime for everyone.

Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
IIRC remington's main factory makes something on the order of 3 million rounds of ammo a day, so I don't think their capability to produce enough is the problem.
If we could get a group buy together for 10 million rounds or so Remington would probably take notice but until then I think we just have to wait until summer.
I'm as frustrated as anyone waiting on my upper, ammo, 762SDN6, etc - but I know it will be worth the wait when it is all here.

Re: Still waiting on some 123gr AMMO,
The supersonic ammo cannot be made ready faster. Remington is doing it as fast as possible. Really I expect to have it in May, but that batch is reserved for contracts.

No doubt. My 10,000,000 round group buy was tongue in cheek.
