Most places that had it seem to be out of stock. Anyone know if it's one of those gone-for-mostly-good military contract overrun things, or will Federal continue to sell it on the civilian market?

I know that Mk 318 is entering a new iteration with the nickel plating ("mod 1"). What's going on with Mk 319?

People realized Mk262 is a much much better round. It has since fallen out of favor

He's asking about the 308 sost.

Yep, the 7.62mm stuff. And while the Mk 262 is definitely better than M855 or M193, the Mk 318 has some definite advantages over it in critical areas.

Seriously, though, it feels as if the dumping of excess Mk319 was a one-off deal... and deal it was, for $11.99 a box...

Glad I got what I did,
but I have not seen it in a while.

Midway had the bullets for sale as components. Perhaps Federal is no longer making it, so they make a run to produce the rest of the ammo that it was able to, and sold the last of the bullets when no more of the specific powder was available.
