When will production be increased?

When will production be increased?

The major US manufacturers have all been running 24/7 for about 2 years now. That is with the exception of Remington (due to its bankruptcy), but Big Green is back up and running as well.

Throw in panic buying, hoarders, and something like 12 million first-time gun purchasers in the past 2 years (who by default have to buy ammunition because they don't have any lying around) and you've got a helluva shortage. At this point it's going to be hard for people to stop habitually impulse buying any ammo they have a firearm chambered in on sight. Expect the shortage to last for awhile (NSSF is predicting another year or so!)

Ground's been broken on 2 or 3 new ammo plants, but I don't think any are finished yet. Of course any new production will likely be offset by the Dems' efforts to curtail imports, both of ammunition and lead.

Where’s the Federal?

They all claim to be running flat out. But with 750,000 new gun owners every month, they can’t keep up with demand. I haven’t seen new hunting ammo in well over a year.
