So the Feds made a huge purchase of 22’s and 22 Mag’s? They must have bought up all the 243 and 270 ammo also.

"One of the consequences of the huge Federal purchases."

No, it is not. Those purchases were normal acquisitions, not unlike much of the last decade. Recent purchases were publicized by conspiracy types and otherwise reasonable people were lead to believe that the government was up to something.

The current ammunition shortage is simply due to unprecedented demand by fearful citizens. And yes, there is ample justification for fearing our government.

The ammunition manufactures are running 24/7 trying to make and sell every single round possible before the inevitable collapse of the current bubble.

I bet none of that has been delivered. I don’t know that as a fact, But the amounts have varied between several million and several TRILLION.I wonder if that wasn’t a scare tactic. If it was, no one in Texas is frightened...
