If you reload military ammo, you 'might' stock up, start looking for new sources or save what you have. I Picked this up today over on AR15.com and there is a rumor circulating the Blogs and websites that Military Surplus ammo is now a thing of the past. I did some somemore searching and found the topic to be on several other forums posted by the same orgainzation at
http://www.mtssa.org/. Nothing on there website about it.
There were a few mentions that this was accomplished through Executive Order but I have yet to find any documentation to confirm or deny that.

Subject: Important Notice to Scrap Metal Buyers!
http://www.govliquidation.com
Dear Valued Customer:
Please take a moment to note important changes set forth by the Defense Logistics Agency:
Recently it has been determined that fired munitions of all calibers, shapes and sizes have been designated to be Demil code B. As a result and in conjunction with DLA's current Demil code B policy, this notice will serve as official notification which requires Scrap Venture (SV) to implement mutilation as a condition of sale for all sales of fired munitions effective immediately. This notice also requires SV to immediately cease delivery of any fired munitions that have been recently sold or on active term contracts, unless the material has been mutilated prior to sale or SV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.
Thank you,
DOD Surplus
