I haven't bought ammo in a month (not voluntarily). It doesn't seem to have helped.

It will get better. I track .22LR orders every tuesday/wednesday on gunbroker for fun. Bulk uctions (more than 2 less than 10 of Federal 525 bricks) orders have fallen from $95 per brick in March to $64 as of this week. I've seen several in the last two weeks that didn't get a bid and had to rebid.

Its happening. Its just slow. From an article I read, manurfuacturers experienced increased sales for 6 quarters last time and expectations of high demand to the end fo year. I still believe we'll see more availability in the 3rd Qtr of this year (about 4 quarters into the current crisis), with iprovement thereafter.

I'll also note rifle and pistol availability appears to be increasing now.
