Right...so people freak out and buy as much as they can get their hands on, which creates a run, which shortens supply, which spikes the price.

That's not fishy -- it's smart. Ammo manufacturers are in the catbird seat right now, selling less ammo for a better profit margin because their customers are scared and will pay whatever it takes to get their hands on the product. Why in the world would Federal pay a bunch of people to come to work everyday just to provide more supply and drive their own prices and margins back down?
Now that would be fishy...
Hopefully, right now you're thinking "But wait, that would mean that the ammo companies are intentionally gouging and taking advantage of this situation, wouldn't it?!?!?"
The answer is yes...yes, they are.
