They're not the only reason, but they're part of it, according to this story... Arkansas plant tackling ammo shortage
- A shortage of ammunition for all calibers is largely due to a rise in demand for firearms, with an estimated 23 million guns sold in the U.S. last year.
I'm having a devil of a time finding 30-30 rifle ammo to try out an inherited rifle from FIL. Not interested in buying dies and components to reload as it will probably be shot a few times and go into the back of the safe. Buddy has dies, but again the .307 bullets are impossible to find.
They will come back at normal prices, one of these days and I'm a patient man.
The only thing I can think of is the copper for windings in the EV's that could be used for bullet jackets or blended to make brass.
That's exactly right. There's a limited supply of copper available on the market at any given time, and the story states that the EV makers are in competition with the ammo makers for it.
At this point ammo prices don‘t seem so bad when you realize EVERYTHING else has doubled in the last 12 months. Frankly ammo seems like a steal considering.
