It's been a fucking year, surely the manufacturers would have caught up by now? Or someone new could have entered the market?

It's now more than a dollar a round. What the actual fuck? This is not normal.

You don't need to ban guns if no one can afford ammo to practice.

Yeah I don’t buy that story. Because then any enterprising capitalist would be producing record amounts by now. I have no evidence of this at all, but it feels like there is some kind of collusion going on. Seriously, bullets aren’t difficult to make. Why aren’t there deals from Alibaba (or Chinese factories in general) for 0.25c a round?

That's assuming we operate under something even remotely resembling free-enterprise capitalism. But we don't.

Raw materials have been in pretty short supply, and the machines are expensive and long lead time.

Also, 18 months ago, manufactures were furloughing people with machines sitting idle and warehouses full of product they were selling at a discount. They aren't in a rush to spend a bunch of money on machines that will be sitting idle the next time we elect a non-stepper president

Ammo imports from China have been illegal for 30 years.

It’s insidious at all levels, I have seriously considered going into reloading for myself and trade calibers with other reloaders. But components like the primers are just as short as manufactured ammo. I guess we are headed to home primer manufacturing next. Followed shortly by collecting pee buckets to make our own saltpeter.
