Concerning the topic, someone posted the following:

I was in my local Cabelas yesterday and chatting with some of the employees.

Cabelas appears to be getting fairly regular shipments of ammo and reloading supplies, albeit diminished quantities.

Due to the ammo crises, my Cabelas limits what any one person can buy at a time. They are trying to give more a chance at some.

Come to find out, according to the employees, some local Gun and Pawn places have it down to a science how to corner the market.

They have a pretty good idea when the shipments come in, and station wives, girlfriends, grandparents, friends, etc out to watch for the trucks.

Then they are sending in the aforementioned people and buying their ration, then changing coats, getting another, calling the store to have their friends come down to buy up the ammo and supplies and then double and triple the price in their pawnshops.

According to the emplyees this tactic, unfortunately, ends up cleaning out the store ration in a couple hours. Especially any primers, powder and bullets.
