When you start seeing popular ammunition continually in stock @ Bass Pro/Cabela's on a regular basis then you can suspect the shortage is easing. I was at both yesterday 0-9mm. 0 - 5.56, 0 - 7.62, 0 - .40, 0 - .45, 0 - .22actually, for the last 2 weeks, they have been consistently getting ammo. I have walked in around 2PM and found .223 on the shelves a few times.
