Misc Question about 308 prices

I used to shoot quite a lot just around the beginning of the dark times. Around then and before in the 2010s i remember 308 being a cheap full rifle size cartridge. As I came back into the hobby the start of this year I noticed 308 has gone way up in price and especially after seeing a box of 30-06 going for the same rate in cabelas yesterday I’m just left wondering what’s happened? I’ve heard the global wars are to be responsible but then why hasn’t .223, 7.62x54 or 39 seen the same increases?

What rock have you been living under? And 223 and 7.62x39 have gone up insane amounts. Im buying as much as i can while its all under a dollar per round

Yeah, it's frustrating! There's so much potential! I'm definitely starting to get disappointed with this group.
