There seem to be lots of reasons for the shortages in ammo, reloading components and even reloading machines:
Covid causing disruptions across the industry, including raw material suppliers
The rioting causing people to go out and buy guns for the first time in their lives
Hoarding and scalpers
Overseas suppliers unable to make up for the domestic shortages due to their own Covid related problems
Politics, the Democratic nominees and the Democratic Party's history of wanting more gun control laws.
People unable to get factory ammo and have started reloading for the first time
I have never seen it this bad, even the odd ball calibers like 30 Mauser, 7.62 x 25 Tokarev and 7.62 Nagant are out of stock.
