In addition to this, many online sellers of ammo are out of stock of just about everything. What, exactly, is causing this pinch?

Simple --- supply and demand.

Plus people who are not very smart - (being polite). I purchased 6,000 rounds of 5.56x45 and 2,000 rounds of 9mm in September, October and early November. The 5.56x45 ranged from a box price of $4.10 (Tula) to $8.10 (Remington). (9mm was $8.80 a box - all brass/boxer.) 10 cases of 30 ball from the CMP in the summer. All one had to do was to look around and watch.
