The 55 gr bullets are more popular and cheaper, even in the reloading components. If the 62 gr were within a dollar or 2 per thousand I would have nothing but 62 gr. I have about 1k in factory ammo and another potential 3k in hand-loaded ammo for 223/5.56, in the past few weeks I have been loading up my 223 and it was 1k of 55gr and 1k of 62gr. I had gotten down to just enough inventory to keep most of my magazines loaded. I still have a pile to load but I am tired of loading 223.

I used to shot about 3k per year of 223 but I got more into pistol back in the 2010 ammo drought. I also got rid of my Dutch ArmaLite AR-10 as it was setup for long range shooting and I did not have a 1000 yard range within 3 hours of where I lived and it had been a safe queen for about 15 years. I went to a medium range caliber with the 6.8SPC and I have been shooting it more than the 223.
