They aint had jackschit for months and they get their ammo from major distribution ware house,s.
The manufacturers say they are running 24/7 and production has increased for em in some cases.
The amount hitting the shelves at academy and rural king and 2 Lgs I hit at a regular pricing, seems just enough to wet the appetite for more and then their are the limits per customer.
But to get any you have to get out at least 3 times and be at places when they open and make it a habit.

So where is the bottle neck???

And also without primers ( which is another issue ) centerfires dont go bang.

Exactly! It does not add up.

But .. Companies don't like to set on inventory. They spent money to make the stuff and then warehousing it places that spent money in escrow with no interest. They tend to want to move inventory.



Release just enough onto a market to meet overheads with profit at the current run up pricing.
And sit on a schittload for even more run up pricing when the conditions are prime, then dump it on the market.
And once that supply has shot its wad.
Another lag is created.

At a run up pricing scale again.
Milking it for all it can be.
