Anyone know where to obtain this ammo locally (New Orleans/Baton Rouge)?

Accurate Firearms on Florida Blvd used to carry it and they still may. I have also seen it at Jim's Firearms.

how much are you looking to spend per box?

This stuff is in wayyyy short supply due to the Obama/strike at the FN factory combo. I found a few boxes on an Academy shelf and bought as many as my pocket change would allow. I went back a couple of days later and the rest was gone. FN is supposed to be ramping up production in the spring and Federal is making it now, but it disappears as fast as you can get it. I had found a mail order sight that reloaded, but last I looked, they were having trouble getting components and were limiting customers to 2 boxes at ass rape prices. Depending on what goes on in the political climate, it should get better in a few months. Other than that, keep your eyes peeled. If you find any, buy all you can and then share the info.

Shoot Wise has it in stock, at a super low bargain price of $30 box

Academy used to have it at $24.99 a box of 50 for the blue tipped stuff, but I don't know if they still have it, as I no longer work there.

Well I'm looking for a five seven pistol in od green, but the ammo is scarce.

I noticed a good bit at cablelas a couple weekend back, FN brand and some other. Opened a box just to see what it looked like.

holy crap. I'm glad I reload mine. The .223 45 grain red tips are cheap and I can get a buttload of loads out of a pound on Trublue.

5.7x28 FN Herstal...not 5.56.

5.7x28 FN Herstal...not 5.56.

They both use a .224 projectile, IIRC.

Both Cabela's and Academy have none - locally or thru 800 number. Everyone seems to think there will be a resupply by next summer (with lower prices). Going to see Shoot Wise this afternoon.

Shoot Wise came through for me. They have three boxes left.

Sorry, you are correct.

Puglia's in Metairie has a bunch. Last time I picked up a couple of boxes I believe they were $31.99.

The gun show in Kenner had them this past weekend but was way too high. If I remember correctly they were around $40 a box.

 

[ArtieD]

I seen the same guy, has anyone seen it elsewhere?

Start reloading your own and you dont have to worry about the shortage, its easier than you think, aslong as your ocd with your charges and seating depth you have nothing to worry about. If you need a couple of recipes then email me and ill gladly send you some
