“I was told at the shop I work at on weekends that ammo prices are going up 20% by December and another 20% in February.”
Any word on why?

Material shortages. Copper is in demand, lead, tin, brass are all going up in prices.
The war has really depleted 308 ammo, there is almost none available, and what there is is outrageously priced.

It is also almost impossible to find lead bullets for reloading these days. The rumor is that lead and brass are being bought up by China.
