Every now and then, some genius comes up with the brilliant idea that "If we can't ban guns, we can 'regulate' the ammunition". Usually by a plan to "tax ammunition out of existence".
Ammunition is a part of "Arms".
SCOTUS long ago established that "The power to tax is the power to destroy". By forbidding the poll tax as unconstitutional, the Court applied that principle to our rights. The Government can't tax the exercise of the right to vote, nor the right to "keep and bear arms". We charge our government with the responsibility of protecting our rights. We have never granted government the power to destroy our rights.

IMV, there should be NO taxes on firearms or ammunition. Taxing them is taxing a Constitutional right ... similar, IMV, to the poll tax that was determined to be unconstitutional.

I think we see what happens with increased regulations. The item attempted to be regulated expands rapidly. So I'd look at Reloading in that same light. Two books on the topic are:
Modern Reloading by Richard Lee and Lyman 50th Edition. Government restrictions result in innovations. We will probably see craft ammunition producers that offer door to door Uber like service deliveries. All vegan staffs of course for those sensitive customers.
