At this point it is useless to look back at .25-.30 cpr and refuse to buy at .65-.70 unless you are truly stocked for life. Average daily prices have pushed $1/round for about a week. If you need some ,buy it. If you reload best stock up too;you think the libs are going to let the roll your own crowd off the hook?
Instead of paying that much for 5.56 you could buy one of these CMMG conversion kits and train using that hoard of 22 you're never going to end up shooting.

I have one and it works great.
Don't have any 22? (seriously, you don't have 1000's of 22?! WTF is wrong with you?!) Go ahead and backorder 5000 rounds of this quality target ammo for $0.11 a round:

5 times as much training as buying the retard priced 5.56 so you can keep what you have for if/when you really need it.
BTW, you can still get killer deals on mags and you better go ahead and get them if you don't have enough. Otherwise your dumbass can buy them from me for twice as much when the panic reaches the next level.

The accuracy is decent enough. My carbine zeroed for M193 will hit 6" steel plates at 30 yd with bulk .22 with little effort while moving and doing drills. That's all I really expected from it.
I'm planning to build a dedicated .22 upper when the barrel I want is available again which should give better accuracy. It works by blowback so you really don't need a gas tube. The best part is that you can use your go-to lower/stock/trigger to better replicate your main carbine for training. Just another training tool to help conserve ammo.
South GA outdoors has a few Anderson AM-15 for $599 5 or 6 left at closing
