Ammo Shortage Continues

Widespread ammunition shortages continue to affect stores. The photo below shows the sparse shelves at the Coconut Creek Walmart.

The most common calibers are nowhere to be seen. Nothing for the most popular rifles either – no .223, 7.62×39, nor .308.
What is on the shelves? Ammo for relatively unpopular rifles such as 7mm, .243, .270, 300, and 30-06. There is also a limited amount of shotgun cartridges.
We have seen this at this store for several months now. Occasionally we see small quantities of .308. Once we saw a few boxes of 9mm and there was a line of people buying it.
Online the situation may be improving slightly but many stores are out of stock on the most common ammunition.
