With nothing available in .223, I wonder how many people are finding the .204?

Not really with ramped up production of 223 they use the same machine to produce 204 brass so until they get a huge backorder there may be a shortage coming for the 204. Cross your fingers!

The stuff I have been reading says that the 204 is sitting on the shelves while the .223 space gathers dust

Just found that LG outdoors has several kinds of 204 in stock, and no 223 at all.

In my neck of the woods, there is NO 223 or 204 brass on the shelves anywhere. Also, almost no primers, and the ones that have a few in stock will only sell 100 at a time. Ammunition is also very thin, I could not find any 22 ammo anywhere I looked. Now I can't find the 38 bullets I have been using for the last 10 yrs or so.
