First if you are using his site to find these deals. Know he is making money off the links he is providing more than likely. Second if stuff is selling out in 1 minute he is helping that also. Is it really a bid deal with ammoseek and others. Maybe maybe not, just be aware.
As for if we are going to have another longterm shortage. I hope we aren't but its very likely. I have heard or read multiple FFLs saying all distributors are empty last few days of 22LR. That sucks.
I was talking to @Cowcatcher the other day about they should still have capacity they can bring online after the last scare and ramp up to 7-24 again quickly. He had a great point. Basically If ammo manufactures didn't see this year coming with an election year and possibilities of dims taking over and who knows what else including natural disasters. They should have already had them factories running full tilt. I agreed their parking lots should have looked like Wal-Mart at Christmas with Shipping containers everywhere full of ammo just waiting to drop it on the market when an event like this happened. Lets hope this virus deal gets sorted quickly and people calm back down quickly.
When it cost more for plinking why not buy the good stuffCheap .22 ammo may be soon gone, but you can buy all the 10X or Center-X you want or can afford.
I still wonder if guy in the first video is correct in that places have to retool for each round. Here is CCI showing 22lr process. I would think 22lr has its own dedicated lines. I can see retooling switching from items that sell less like 44mag to 357mag and such. But the main stuff .223, 22lr, 9mm and 45 acp. I am betting those lines don't get messed with.
