Castafly: i am the member varmintguy helped with getting the brass (a big thanks), but that was the first brass i had found in many months of looking. While you can still find factory ammo, its pretty pricey around 30 a box. If you are going to get one keep your eyes open for brass and get in to reloading if you already are not. If you do not want to then i would suggest you look at other excellent calibers, 204 Ruger would be the first that comes to my mind.
I have an older retired machinist friend who just made me 500 more out of 223 brass for .26 each. He supplied the LC brass too.
He has lots of time and likes to do it.
He has a 20 vt and made his own annealing machine also.
Works for me.
