Hold on a second. I’m not sure what everyone is so happy about. These companies are jockeying for a public relations hit. Have any of you tried to purchase ammunition recently? There’s none to be found. Every online purveyor of ammunition is out of stock on every imaginable caliber and in every quantity, 20 50 100 or 1000 rounds. That goes just for the bullets for reloaders as well as for the factory loads ready to shoot. There’s only two explanations for this scary turn of events. There are millions of hoarders who have snapped up every round at great personal expense—or else the government has bought out all of the manufacturers’ stocks. Some of the sites are indicating they expect shipments in July (that’s five months away) but no sooner. Don’t be misled when you go to these sites, it looks like ammo is available but when you go to select the quantity the screen shows everything out of stock. America is in trouble. If you can’t buy ammo or do your reloading what good are your weapons? A lot can happen in five months, no?

Ammo is available. I've bought at local gunshows and CTD. Link for 556, in stock.

Both. But, IMO more the former, based on personal observations.

What might be a useful indicator is the scarcity of 22 LR. I can't imagine the government buying up that caliber. I hear a lot say they have anywhere from 5k to 15k rounds stashed. Also, reports of LE having the same difficulties as we would indicate to me that civilians are doing their share of the hoarding. Which, also in my opinion is a good thing. Personally, I'd like the law abiding portion of our citizenry to be armed to the teeth, and the despots in the state & federal governments to be well aware of it.

Can't be too rich, too thin, or own too many firearms or too much ammo.

It's a lot of both...

Check your local supplier daily. Ammo is trickling in and being snatched up pretty quickly.

I picked up some 9MM along with some powder primers and front ends for .223 when every place else was wiped out. And at normal prices.

You just have to be persistent and able to grab it when you find it.

Supply will loosen up soon enough.
