Doubt that SB 53 is causing the shortage but it probably contributes to it somewhat. Similar law has already passed in NY and some NY shooters over on rimfirecentral have posted that they are buying all they can get before their law goes into effect sometime in 2014, another contributor.
Lots of theories on why the shortage but no real evidence as to why. New shooters, .22lr being cheaper, politics, scare tactics from DC, Homeland Security buying up several billion rounds of centerfire (rumor?), Dept of Agriculture buying a bunch of ammo (another rumor?), etc....
Ammo manufacturers are supposedly running at full capacity and just can't keep up with demand. Lots of rumors, little factual information. Think we just have to ride it out, can't last forever.
