This video explains why certain ammunition calibers remain difficult to find despite the general ammo shortage easing. The primary reason cited is low consumer demand for less popular calibers, particularly many hunting rounds, compared to high-volume military and law enforcement contract calibers like 9mm, 5.56x45mm, and 7.62x39mm. Manufacturers prioritize production of rounds with consistent, high demand to maximize efficiency, leading to limited runs of niche or older calibers.
