Pretty much what we already know. Other sources stated that Russia and China have cut off exports to all NATO nations of the raw material used to make gun powder. Us and other NATO nations are upping production of the 155mm artillery round by 4 times the current capacity. Each round requires around 25 lbs of powder. That is equal to around 3900 308 rounds or 39000 9mm rounds for each 155mm round.
Military contracts come before commercial retailers so we are basically screwed in the near future.
