Want to try some of these in my new 1:7 223AI...and Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, Grafs, Wiedners, Bruno, Third Gen, Powder Valley....all sold out of the .224 80.5gr Fullbore bullets.

"So what's the deal?" Popular match bullet in summer snatched up by competition shooters, limited runs by Berger, __________?
 
Re: Where did all the Berger 80.5s go?

My guess would be wrong time of the year, Nationals, late summer for High Power, etc. Have you tried calling Berger, don't know if they direct ship or not. Sinclair and Green Top are out, too. I know Sierra did 77's and 80's in June. (Sierra also filled back orders on .338 and other .223 in the past couple of weeks.)
