What I don't understand is why? I get that people panic bought 9mm, .45, .223 etc. But why the fuck is it hard to find oddball shit like .17 hmr? I can't even get .308 deer loads because some idiot bought 20 boxes of premium $1.50/round hunting ammo. What are people doing? Target shooting hollowpoints? I get having enough for a rainy day but if the boogaloo happens I'll send FMJ.

All the new gun owners bought whatever they could find and didn’t really care if it was premium or otherwise. To them, any ammo is better than no ammo, but the entire supply chain has a choke point on primers — there are only 4 major domestic suppliers and they prioritize their military contracts, to include their own ammunition production, other ammunition producers and sell resell primer overruns commercially as they can...sellers market
