It's simple, there wasnt nearly the demand. And it takes time to ramp up. That's why 9mm used to be $0.16 and 5.56 was like $0.23. Those plants would have sat pretty much idle in 2018. And Now we have all these new neck beards along with the ones who were stocking up before (I'm guilty too, although mainly primers).
Think buying completed factory ammo is bad, ammo companies have flat out told us reloaders no more primers until they catch up with demand. I havent seen a box of primers on a gun shop shelf since last July.
But they've been saying that 'takes time to revamp' for a decade. Tesla has come into existence in the time I've been trying to find ammo. Entire factories.
