Trivia note. Lake City currently produces 1,460,000,000 rounds of rifle ammo per year or 4,000,000 rounds per day. They have the ability to produce more than that.
CCI makes over 4,000,000 rounds of 22 ammo every single day of the year. It's hard to find accurate daily production number on handgun ammo but it is rumored to also in the millions.
To put CCi 22 ammo production in perspective, they only make enough to ship 841 rounds per day to each Walmart store in the USA.
As a unit of Vista, Federal contributes about $19 million in annual sales to the Vista Group. If the Vista group has a backlog of $1 billion orders.....there is a giant amount of catching to do.
In 2019, ammunition sales were about 33 rounds per American. With only a slight increase in demand, demand easily outstripped production.
