I can only tell you the unreliable info that has been handed to me by untrustworthy sources. Something about contracts up, renegotiating and a huge back order list. Agian this is hear say. Someone will chime in with some facts. So in short I have no clue. Yes, my post was useless.

My uncle plays poker with some big shots and they said the shortage is manufactured.

I'd say 8-12 months

I don't think there is a definitive answer. I think it has more to do with when people stop panic buying, hoarding, and buying everything in sight with intent to flip it. Hard to tell when those stars will line up.

4 years, maybe longer depending on who is elected president next.

Just like with almost every other product these days. Read up on diamonds...
I would put money on this, also, that it will last quite a long time because of how much profit is being made. None of them are in it for us.

my guess... 18 months, If there is more negative development with the ASB longer

I have this suspicion that by the time ammo is readily available again, we will need a permit or pay a tax for the privilege of purchasing it.

My estimate is 60 days minimum, up to 6 months. People have got to be running out of discretionary spending for ammo.

There's plenty of ammo available at the online auction sites. Panic buyers are paying double for it. Each ammo lot has multiple bidders and prices are escalating.

When the panic buyer's relax, stop paying double at auction or hanging out at the Walmart ammo case, the supply will have a chance to catch up.

Deals are out there. For instance, I picked up some Win 40 White Box from SG late last week, 500 rds $220 shipped. Have to keep looking

When did things calm down last time? 2010 it seemed like. Who knows what'll happen now but my crystal ball says 18 months minimum.

Well with dhs buying tons of antipersonel rounds iit will be a while before production on non goverment bound rounds will match demand I refuse to buy ammo at a gouge and if ca passes ammo laws I'm 1 hour from nevada so they can suck it
