I just spoke with someone who is very knowledgeable about the ammo shortage. What he explained to me was quite worrisome, especially because I average a thousand rounds a month in various calibers. Fearful and new shooters have wiped out inventory.
The most difficult component to find will be primers and assembled cartridges. Cases are plentiful but quality projectiles are another matter for long range shooters. One factor he mentioned was the U.S. Military just placed a large order that is priority and there are some problems with the collapse of Remington.
I guess the situation with powder is the ports are closed so the raw product is not inbound. Once they are cleared too ship it takes 3 months to arrive.
All over a virus with 99.97% survival rate? I pray that is the only reason. Let me know what you think.
