Frequently Asked Questions

Which ammunition calibers are currently most affected by the shortage?

The most critically affected calibers are 5.56x45mm NATO and .223 Remington, which are reported as 'missing' and difficult to find. Following closely is 9mm Luger, the most popular handgun caliber, which is rapidly becoming scarce.

What is causing the shortage of 5.56/.223 and 9mm ammunition?

The primary cause cited is the US Army's increased demand, leading to reduced civilian production from the Lake City Ammunition Plant, which is a major supplier for these popular calibers.

What is the predicted order for other calibers to become scarce?

After 5.56/.223 and 9mm, 12 Gauge is expected to be next. This will be followed by revolver calibers like .357 Magnum and .38 Special, .45 Colt, .380 ACP, and wildcat cartridges, with hunting ammunition being affected last.

Will there be a shortage of .22LR ammunition?

The speaker does not anticipate a shortage of .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammunition, suggesting it is less susceptible to the current supply chain disruptions compared to other calibers.
