Considering going on a cross state trip to look for ammo and other items not available here. Don't know what else to do as I believe this mess will continue for several years.
Put the money you'd spend on gas into a reloading setup.
I've picked up some ammo but its not enough to replace 15% of what I normally shoot.

Surely you are jokeing.You could always have patience.
Just sayin.

You wrongly conclude that I have not explored evey option to obtain some ammo. Thing is a road trip is the only thing I haven't tried.I can and have routinely seen .223 for under $.40 a round, .308 for under $.80, 9mm, 40, and 45 for reasonable prices, it just depends on where you're looking online.
Going on a road trip is going to be fruitless, since you'll be limited to a small supply where you do find ammo... probably cheaper to just work out a volume purchase with some of the scalpers in your town. Maybe fire up armslist and contact a scalper with an offer to buy in bulk within a timeframe (say, 2-4 weeks). While I doubt he'll want to sell his stock right now, if he has the opportunity to buy some extra when he finds it with a known buyer at slightly inflated prices, I fail to see why they wouldn't take it.
Or if you don't want to deal with the devil, contact a young relative and offer a bounty on what you need. Depending on how adept they are, and how motivated they are to help you, it might be another way to keep a set of eyes on the common deal sites.
I don't know what a mini 30 rebuild kit is but I will ask around to see if any are available and let you know.Dunno where ya are but if ya come across a couple or three Mini-30 rebuild kits let me know.
x2 on the reloading setup. Might be tricky & a bit expensive to get into right now but you could get started. Then when prices settle(I don't believe it will be years) you can start building a stockpile. I've been panic buying for the past 4 years.
