As soon as you grab up a press and some components.... Factory ammo is pretty much a myth for most people.
There seems to be plenty of it around:

...for a price. If you are looking for bulk or range ammo, there are several choices, in brass, at around $1 a round. The "cheap" stuff -- the steel cased imports -- are comparatively overpriced at $0.85+ when you can get brass cased rounds for just 15-20 cents a round more.
Right now, .308 is in decent supply, it is just still expensive. But don't expect it to go back down much any time soon, if ever.
The real problem with .308 right now is powder for reloading. Varget, anyone?

Here in upstate ny its becoming more and more available at dicks but haven't seen any at Walmart in months
I have just started to see it at under a $1.00 a round, with shipping just slightly over that, from the online sources.
On the shelves here, the ranges always have some but I did pay $1.50 a round for American Eagle.
I think it is becoming more available and the price is coming down a bit. But I think it will remain close to $1.00 per round for even minimal quality from now on.
And I think range prices are always high.
This city is too big to ride or drive around looking for ammo. At least when you know no stores have any.

I don't think ammo availability will improve much until we replace Comrade Obama and his cronies.

Just short on brass and primers here. Factory ammo's slowly coming back here. Except 22LR that is. $50 a brick if you can find it.

More projectiles are showing up in AZ. No primers unless you wanna pay 80+.
Got plenty to last the year just need primers. Might have to splurge on a few hundred.
