I think capacity is climbing.
I do not track anything, but maybe someone could tell me if primers are now available. In the past I wanted to get into reloading (for more range time), and was told that primers were scarce and it wasn't a good time to start.
Primers are available if you want to pay $130 for what used to be a $30 box.
Don't know. But the factories have started shipping 30-30 again so you should probably check it out.
capacity is not climbing nor will it due to knowledge and money barriers to entry. also there is a monopoly on manufacturing.

I said that because i have seen reports of new factories. maybe this hasn't happened yet, but i know there are some in the works.
perhaps but it takes years for a new factory to enter near full production and once they due they will likely be sold off to vista outdoors monopoly. this will enable continued control of ammo price and availability. they dont have to take your guns if they make ammo scarce or prohibitively expensive.
