There is a cost for a manufacturer to suddenly increase production. The ammo manufacturers may have determined that the additional sales (if any) would sufficiently offset these production costs.
Some people are choosing to panic and stockpile ammo. This results in a temporary increase in the demand. But does it result in a large enough and long enough increase to justify the additional costs of increasing production? Production is not free and a successful manufacturer has just enough manufacturing capability to handle expected orders.
