We have all read the response to folks complaining about the ammo shortage..."its supply and demand!"
OK, so you econ 101 wiz kids answer the other half of that equation...why hasn't the supply risen to meet demand? If the big ammo makers can't or won't expand production why aren't smaller ammo makers rising to get a piece of the pie. If the answer is they can't get the materials, they why aren't companies coming up to provide, primers, powder, lead and brass?
Are these manufacturing processes not as simple as I see them to be? Are their choke points in the supply chain that cannot be opened up during a time where demand has increased?
