I am wondering if the current component availability is as good as it is going to get for the foreseeable future?Well at first I was all in not because I believed Hornady's hype and expected the 22 ARC to be magic sauce, I just like having different chamberings in the AR to play with.
However, the more I really look at it, I've cooled my jets.
The 22 ARC is starting out just like the 6 ARC di, which I have and really like:
- No brass available
- Little Ammo if any, and really expensive if you can find it, with one to two box limits common really driving up the per-box price if ordered on line.
All of this for what? A couple hundred FPS?
It took a couple years or more for 6 ARC stuff to come available, when this is the case with the 22 ARC I'll give the neat little cartridge a second look.
With that spirit, i will do what i have always done, add to my current inventory.
Components for 223, 308, 6.5 PRC etc plentiful right now.
I love all the new calibers. Common availability always wins for me though.
