We definitely know the government is stock piling hollow point.

It's a combination of factors.
1) New shooters/owners needing to feed their recent acquisitions
2) Casual shooters realizing they may not have any ammo the next time they go to the range.
3) Hunters who shoot 5 rds/season realizing they may run out in 2 decades and that they better stock up
4) Regular shooters who keep some inventory realizing they may need to double/triple/quadruple that inventory
5) Hardcore shooters realizing they may need to xtuple their inventory
6) Flippers buying entire shipments when their favorite Walmart stock boy calls them with the news that something -- anything -- arrived
7) Ammo and component factories that have been running mostly balls-out since 2008.
8) Gov't orders taking up huge blocks of factory capacity (e.g., Lake City is doing ONLY gov't contracts)
