It's the only industry that has done well the last 7 years... oh, the
irony...

Since 2008, ammunition and gun sales have set new records each week. While
the economy has been the worst on record, Americans have voted with their
wallet in response to the "hope and change agenda". It appears they
collectively do not feel safe and wish to increase their ability to defend
themselves.
So... the ammunition shortage is actually a demand spike which hasn't been
met by manufactures. Information which I've been able to access says they
are running at full capacity, 3 shifts, 24/7, and still have unfilled
orders going forward 12 months ahead.
That order/demand peaks in a second wave each time a politician waves the
"more gun control" laws are needed flag...
Americans, it appears, take the whole Bill of Rights seriously... .

After 6+ years of being unable to buy 22 Long with 40 grain lead in this
country, I was wondering if the situation is similar in the Great Northern
Provinces. Are boxes of LR available in Canada, or is this a worldwide
"shortage?"
When I do see a box or two on the shelf, they are 2-3 times more
expensive than they were 8 years ago, and it it some less popular
variation, like short or long, or some very expensive "match grade" thing.

I am not certain of what is or is not readily available as I seldom buy
any but my son has complained that sometimes there is a problem getting
what he wants.
He has been using low power 22LR in an effort to reduce noise as we are
not really permitted to shoot out at the lake and do not wish to have
neighbors complain. He dispatches as many squirrels as he can in order to
keep them out of the cottage. Unfortunately, the low power shells do not
work all that well in semi-auto rifles. They don't cycle well.
I would say, we are not having quite the "shortages" that I hear you folks
talk about but supply is not as good as it once was.
