If things stay the course, we'll be laughing about this in December. Once this is over consider it a lesson learned and keep a stockpile of at least 5k .22lr and 2k of each handgun caliber and at least 1k of ammo for each rifle caliber. And plenty of reloading components.
I've got my commercial stash a over at least 1k to 2k for 9mm, .45 ACP, 40 S&W, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 10mm. I've got over 5k of .22lr. And my BP stash has grown by leap and bounds. My .223 and 7.62x39 is between 1.5k and 2.5k, my .308 is barely over 1k (my favorite semi-rifle caliber). 8mm is comfortably over 2k in spam cans and close to 1k in loose ammo. 30-30 is only at a few hundred rounds but I shoot it maybe once every six months if. I've got just over 200 rounds of .458 Socom and that frigging hurt to put together.
Once December comes round I'm getting into .357 Sig with an XD (probably the .40 tactical that I'll buy a conversion barrel for) model and 3,000 rounds. Every handgun caliber will have at least 2k in commercial ammo stashed except for my .454 Casull (that's just too expensive to do so might only keep 500 commerical around as I reload the heck for it but I'm only running 250 grain LRN at 1200 fps when it comes to shooting reloads).
Rifle calibers will go up to 2k of commercial and ready reloads will be around at least 1k for each with enough projectiles, powder, and primers for another 5k of each. I reload a hundred rifle rounds a week just cause as it is now. The exception will be .458 socom, the cost is immense unless you reload and even then. I can't find molds and I've made my own to test in my RRA upper. I need a good stash of virgin brass. So I might go up to 500 commerical rounds and keep it a reload eater.
I haven't had to pay any panic prices since this all started. Granted I did a flat run to Walmart before the box limits came in and dropped $500+ soon as I heard about it. And I've also gotten bigger into BP than I ever thought I would be.
Lessons hopefully learned.
