Are you wondering why the stores are only getting primarily ammo like 5.56 and buckshot? It's because that's what the manufactures have been running. They were running non stop 5.56 and 9mm for months on end trying to get caught up. Being NATO rounds they were in high demand all over the world. MUCH higher than any sort of hunting round that you're looking for. Manufacturers are very much in touch with what sells. I think you may be out of touch with what goes on beyond your walls. Hunting rounds will always play a VERY distant second fiddle to the NATO rounds.

Sounds like in border states these rounds may become "hunting" rounds !!!

They get what they get now and people are buying about anything they can get their hands on. Some might buy the ammo before they even buy the gun the way it’s going. If it’s cheap some guys will buy it to resell it for profit if unpopular and spendy it will just sit there.
The local gun supply place is getting some stuff but nothing great or in quantity a lot of low end steel cased stuff. Don’t try to make heads of it nobody knows what’s going on and there is little control over how it going to pan out.

check out ammoseek 2a warehouse gunbroker Hippie theres millions of rounds for sale 2-3 bucks a shell i'd suspect stores and gunshops won't pay the wholesale price cause if they do and add on their margins they'd be accused of price gouging whehe auctions start at a penny and consumers bid up to high prices voluntarily IMO

Some places mark it up with crazy prices others do their regular mark ups with limits on what you can buy at one time, I respect the places that are holding the line the gougers I’ll never forget when this is done.

There are certain things available and many that are not, or are hard to find and don't last long on the shelves. Like M Magis said, the mfgs have been putting out .223/5.56 and self defense pistol ammo trying to keep up with demand. There are plenty of bullets for reloaders in the calibers and styles that don't get bought much because they don't get shot much (bullets for .338, 325, 366, 375 and other "heavy hitters" calibers that are little used in north america). There are also plenty of 150 gr and 165 gr .30 cal bullets available. There are plenty of match bullets available in a variety of calibers. If you are looking for .243/6mm, 6.5mm, .284/7mm, pickings will be slim.
