Well I am The Shadow and even I don't KNOW!

Yeah...The problem is the people that are buying anything they can get their hands on.

You build a big back stock via a series of purchases at opportune times over several years, not panic buying at outrageous prices now.  I have 5-6K primers, 50-60 lbs of powder, and a couple thousand brass in 30-06, 10mm and 223.  I also have some 308 brass (couple hundred) and about 2K rounds of steel 7.62X54R.

I buy when I see a good deal.  Which means lately, no buying.

Anyone who asks me where to get stuff lately...Well, I use a four dimension system to describe where.  Planet earth, at a point in the future.  don't bother right now.  If they are really in a bind, I loan them some ammo to be repaid when they can.  I had a neighbor that was getting his NRA rifle instructor cert so we can do sanctioned shooting with our troop.  He needed 22lr for the practical, and I loaned him 100 rounds.

Keep calm and carry on.  Good motto for right now.

I think a lot of folks will take this ammo crises the same way folks from The Great Depression will.Never again will I not be prepared/stocked up.I'm one of them.

Me too.  Well, starting as soon as possible anyway.

It pays to be prepared. I just added a sleeve of buckshot and sleeve of rifled slugs to my cache. I figure if times really get tough and all we have left are hunting guns (shotguns and bolt actions) I want to be ready.

I saw Obama panic #2 coming, and I stocked up on all the reloading supplies I could afford last November. Wish I could have gotten 5000 SP primers instead of just the thousand I did buy. Have lots of LP primers to feed my 10's though.
