I'm not sure that "they" all "stopped making guns" in 300 Savage "50 years ago"...?

P.S. IMHO "they" should continue making ammunition available, if only in limited quanties or in special production runs, as long as there are willing buyers... As previously indicated 308 brass can be reformed, but NOT ALL ENTHUSIASTS ARE RELOADERS.
“They” are making the ammo. The complaint is that it is expensive. The reason for that is that “they” have to stop producing ammo that feeds millions of guns and retool to make a run of ammo for a couple of thousand guns. Someone has to pay for the diversion of resources from producing ammo that is heavily in demand to the production of ammo that is not in great demand. That someone is the purchaser. The cost of materials is the same for all the ammo that is produced at any one time so what that 2$ a round is basically paying for is increased labor and loss of production of something else. It’s just the cost of using a gun that is not in general production.
