I am an expert on this because I have searched every gun/rifle company on the web every single day for several weeks looking for a certain semi-automatic rifle and hollow point bullets and a certain multi-bullet magazine. When I go through that process, I see there is none of that stuff in any caliber.
It gives me a strange feeling to see there is nothing available. Millions of people now have that equipment and generally hollow point bullets means they are ready to shoot people if they have to. I am really old, 80, and have never seen a situation like this.
We live in interesting times.
You can still get these Marcella. These are Israeli military mags. I ordered some around Christmas and got them in 2 weeks.

Couldn't determine that from your writing. Only rank amateurs and the news media don't know the difference between bullets and cartridges.
Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread and cement is to concrete, etc. Please learn the language.
I pretty much do the same, but timing is the issue. I was able to get some mags at the precise moment I called on a previous order of mine. The supplier said the distributors are doling them out piecemeal to their preferred retailers, I was able to catch 4 20-rd mags for my ARs (that sadly I lost yesterday in a boating accident - boat went down , too). Darnit!!
For the helluvit, I checked the shotgun biz. It too is devastated. Even the reloading biz it being hit hard!!
The local Sportsman's Warehouse here in Albuquerque is calling Thursdays "Black Friday Thursdays" because people are lining up at 3:00 AM and the doors don't open until 9:00. Thursday is when they get the weekly shipment of everything.
Had a friend there this last Thursday afternoon, he said shelves were bare. He talked to a salesman, who told him about the people lining up. The salesman also told him that they got in 50 cases of 1,000 rounds each of Federal .223. All 50 were gone as soon as they could wheel them onto the floor ($406, with taxes).
