Between the hysteria around the pandemic, the electoral fear mongering, and the supply chain issues with the manufacturers, you're SOL for 9mm, .308/7.62x51, .223/5.56, and anything other than birdshot for your 12 ga. I actually just got back from my local ag co-op, which is also my go-to sporting goods store, and peeped their ammunition inventory. They didn't even have any .22LR or .357 magnum for me to snag. I did see some .30-06, but that was the only caliber out of what I own that was on the shelf.
Good thing I was just there to get a new knife. I did almost get a new gun, but I was already spending $200, so I reined myself in.
Luckily I stocked up big time on ammo before our dumb as shit ammunition background check law went into effect and prohibited buying online (I can still do so but the suppliers are much more limited), so I'm good on ammo. Plus I own at least one firearm in every common caliber and several outside the norm such as 45-70 govt., .458 Socom, .357 Sig, 8mm Mauser and 5.45x39 so I can usually find something to buy.
