There is absolutely no reason to try and affect the availability of .357SIG to the general public since it’s not really that common of a round.
The specs for the ammo are too specific. It stipulates a specific bullet be used in say the .40 S&W.
There are too many other mfg. making the same cal of ammo but with their own or different bullets from different mfg. to affect overall supply.
That one .40 cal bullet from that one mfg would be in shortage and then only for a short time.
If they are buying this for supply over a 5 year period, then it’s not so bad that they are buying this quantity, in fact it would make sense economically as it would lock in the price as the price goes up.
The question is did they change from yearly purchase to 5 year purchase for economic reasons?
Democrats never gave a damn about saving taxpayers money before so why now?
More that likely they changed to get the response they are getting from everyone right now.
They are intentionally pushing peoples buttons on every issue to fuel mistrust in the govt. in the hope that someone will snap and respond.
