Panic buying and hoarding. I have all I need. Couple thousand bullets, and a few pounds of gunpowder will see me through....

Through what? The rest of your life? The prices will enver be back down to where they were before December. Sure the shelves will begin to fill up a little more over the next year or so but all the panic buying did was ensure ammo manufactures and dealers that they can charge twice the amount of old and people are stil lgoing to buy buy buy.

Honestly, pretty damn close. I don't go blow rounds off. I have prob 4,000 bullets in .224 caliber, and I have enough 7 mag rounds loaded to eat elk every year for the rest of my life. I don't like to miss. That is not mentioning the bullets and cases and primers I have for calibers I don't even own. I understand your well placed sarcasm, but I am not in the plinking crowd. I have fired one round this year so far. One kill. Lots more kills sitting on my shelves........

I do go to the range once in awhile, but IM well stocked with factory loads in several calibers, as well as everything I need to reload quite a bit.

But you live in Texas. Don't they give out one 30-06 and one .45 round in every Happy Meal there?

Well I suppose if you don't shoot often then you could be good. I like to shoot too much is my problem. I have 3 presses and try to reload what I can when I can but it isn't getting any easier to find the time..... or the supplies. If any of you guys are looking to sell or know anyone looking to sell any slugs or primers let me know. I am always looking for more.
