As much as I hate Black Friday, I went out.

Anyhow, I went to Dick's because I saw they had ammo "Buy One, get one 50% off". Well, I went in right when they opened mostly getting some .270, and .223.

They had a massive white sign "Due to ammo shortages in .223/5.56 customers are limited to ONLY 6 boxes". All they had in .223 was PMC Bronze, UMC Remington, and TulAmmo.

I'm wondering if this was some kinda scare tactic to get people to buy it all up, which they did, or if there really is a shortage?
