Is the Ammunition Shortage Real or Manufactured?

[Lemonaid]

A little over a year ago a ranch supply store that is part of a little over 50 stores, had their entire reloading department on sale 25% off. 2 weeks each 11/19, 12/19 & 1/20. I asked the mgr if they were getting out of reloading. He said "no we were instructed to move some inventory because our warehouses were stuffed w/reloading supplies. I bought primers @ $25/K and powder for $20-$25/LB

A lot of stuff is in short supply.
A friend of mine owns an archery shop, has 4 or 5 of the top brands. Bows that cost $700-$1700 are ALL out of stock 2-6 month wait.
Hot Tubs where my nephew works all 6+ month wait ($10K-$20K ea.)
New GM diesel trucks (3/4 & 1 ton) are 4-6 months after you put down a deposit.
New Polaris SxS 2-4 month wait after you put down a deposit
New Swarovski NL pure 12x binoculars $3100 4-6 month wait

Wait, I though the ammo/primer shortage was due to the new 2.5 million first time gun owners. Did they also buy a hot tub, truck, bow etc. as well? It seems I'm a bit behind on my purchases.
