The 2020–present United States ammunition shortage is the most recent of all the ammunition shortages in the United States.It arose out of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the 2020 United States presidential election, and the George Floyd protests.
In March 2023, Jaclyn Bryan shot a target at 4,227 yd (3,865 m) with the .375 CheyTac, taking the record for the second-longest-distance shot (current as of August 2023). [8] She was assisted by Shane Bryan, who acted as a spotter, giving targeting-correction advice, based on his observation of bullet impact.
A shorter cartridge cuts down on the distance the firearm's action must reciprocate to load a new round, which allows for higher cyclic rates and greater probability of multiple hits on a target at long range. Lack of a case also reduces the weight of the cartridge substantially, especially in small bore rifles.
The .40 S&W CAN duplicate this performance. The .41 AE uses 0.410-inch (10.4 mm) bullets, whereas the .40 S&W uses 0.400-inch (10.2 mm) bullets. However, as it lacks the backing of ammunition manufacturers in making .410 caliber bullets suited for semiautomatic pistols, the .41 AE has not achieved widespread popularity. [7] [8]

A hollow-point bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact with a soft target, transferring more or all of the projectile's energy into the target over a shorter distance. Hollow-point bullets are used for controlled penetration, where overpenetration could cause collateral damage (such as aboard an aircraft).
