The reasons for the shortages are multiple and not BS…
I did the opposite, sold off 400 rounds of 3030 and 300 rounds of 270
california is like the liberal canada, they like to triple tax everything.
True but do we really need our retailers to add fuel to that fire?

"If you were watching Facebook forums, you'd see posts that would say, 'Cabelas got so many primers, and I got them ALL!'" Sharpless said. "I talked to one of those guys. He loads a box of ammunition a year. He shoots a couple of deer a year, so that's, what, half a box at most? But he's got 3,000 years worth of primers. It's an 'I've got them and you don't,' thing. Those behaviors do hurt the market.
David Stone, president of Dong's Sporting and Reloading Goods in Tulsa, noticed the same thing in the ammunition market.
"During the pandemic in 2020, there was no rimfire and no 9mm," Stone said. "One guy told me he had a 50-gallon drum full of 22 rimfire shells. Never in your entire lifetime are you going to shoot all those. There are thousands of hoarders like that."
The way ammo prices are going there is no more point in shooting. Box of 338 LM is equal to a week or two of groceries.
