This video provides an expert analysis of current ammunition supply chain issues, explaining how tariffs, geopolitical events, and material sourcing bottlenecks are driving up costs. The speaker, Boondock Ballistician, details the impact of Section 232 tariffs on steel and copper, propellant production shifts, and the nitrocellulose supply chain. It also highlights how increased demand can spur new primer manufacturers to enter the market.
This video from Line45, hosted by Ted, analyzes the potential for an ammunition shortage in 2025, focusing on the critical components of primers and powder rather than just empty shelves. It highlights the fragility of the supply chain, drawing parallels to the 2020 shortage caused by pandemic shutdowns, civil unrest, and a surge in new gun owners. The expert discusses significant investments in US-based primer and powder production, such as White River Energetics' expansion and new propellant plant, and upgrades at Lake City Ammunition Plant, as key factors mitigating future shortages. The video advises smart, steady stockpiling rather than panic buying.
