That's fishy too. Lots of sources say the large purchases didn't effect supply at all. I think it's just pure demand driving the price.

I said it has created a shortage mostly seen in .22 rimfire. The vast majority of which is still loaded with leaded projectiles.
I think it depends on what part of the country you live in as well. Some people claim to not see a shortage and others say it hasn't been on the shelves in months. That plant was the last major supplier for .22.
Demand and inflation are the main causes to higher prices, loading components have raised in price as well, and outside of powder components are readily available.
