I know for a lot of people the current lack of supply really stinks. The population of gun owners consists people born across decades.
For some this is the first ammo shortage, others 2008, others 1994 and you can insert what ever other dates where things got tight.
Once you experience one panic, you tend to ramp up your holdings of ammo and components. Those of us that have been through this many times, have likely ramped things up a bit more because each time we add to stock and think just a bit more makes a lot more sense. We are not hoarding the stuff but we put some away to get by, didn't burn it all and after the next time, we put a bit more away.
So I think things will get back on the shelves sooner that we expect and sales of ammo will stay strong. I don't see ammo buying falling off the cliff.
My thoughts apply to reloading components also.
