Where are the bullets?

I’m asking this seriously. Where are all the bullets? Berger 115 is one of my backups. Have not sent them on the shelf’s in 3 or more months. Is it jackets in shortage? Hard to understand what is going on.
 
All companies are saying producing more than ever.. i just think they might be lacking the raw materials to make stuff. Some hornady bullets are starting to trickle in but bergers are still gone
 
I haven't seen an 80 eldms on the shelf in a while. It's my match bullet.
 
All the .22 caliber Bergers in 80, 80.5, and 85 grain have been non existent.
Have to go to 88g Hornady
 
Today, and past couple weeks. Hornady rifle/pistol bullets. Some Berry's, smattering of Nosler, varmint Bergers. Fairly easy to find 224/308 fmj and 9mm some .357.
 
I’ve not been able to find anything here in Minnesota that come close to what I like. I’m looking for Nosler Ballistic tip 125 gr bullets or something similar. Only Hornady projectiles on the shelves here, but nothing I want.
 
I have been trying trying to find Berger 85.5’s and not available anywhere that I can find.
 
Bullet supply in many calibers is more an issue for me than primers or powder. Luckily in what I term "bulk" calibers, i.e., those I load the most rounds of -- .308W and .223 I have more than enough of my chosen bullets. It's the heavier .308 cals for 300WM and the bigger 338 bullets that are very very thin on the ground. I suspect most of the bullet presses are set up for military-style bullets for ammunition, which apparently can be sold easily, still.
