When will the ammo shortage end

I think we'll know within the first hundred days.
Already covid is a non issue. Football stadiums full with no social distancing or masks. Financial institutions sending out emails the lobbies have reopened the same day as the inauguration.
We'll see how they test the waters very soon and what kind of fight the whipped party puts up.

It typically takes a year or so to settle out but Covid has been the monkey wrench in all of this. Ammo shortage started long before the election

Some things don't add up. They ammo makers say they are producing more than ever; but the usual stores are not getting but a fraction of what they used to get.
I also would like to see the big stores limit it to 1 box per customer.
As a last resort quit making so many different calibers and concentrate on 3.

If they would do this I would stop biatching.

It adds up perfectly... Big stores are selling out every shipment. Not adding 5 boxes here and 10 boxes there to an existing inventory. They are ordering the max they can and hope some of it is filled. The ammo mfgers are trying to fill max orders every day. Not some small 10-15 piece order from Mom and Pop's gun store or a normal order from the big box store during non-panic days. New shooters seems to be a big culprit....Ive seen quotes of 4-5 million of them...buying ammo...that's a lot of demand. My wife is one of them We have been shooting a lot lately trying to get her ready for her CHL. With that I have been shooting more than normal as well.. So there's two folks affected by one new shooter so you can probably add another 2 million to that 4-5 number for folks affected by new shooters. Throw in the scalpers and panic folks and its a recipe for what you see production and inventory wise.... Hopefully it tapers off soon like TP..
