I'm wondering how folks are managing the current panic?
I've developed a strategy over the last couple and am now forced to implement.
First is logistical chain. I've simplified my component choices in favor of versatility, and purchased needed items in quantity. Check, good to go.
Second is accumulating "random stuff" as I go. Have been able to add misc components useful to my needs quite cheaply over the years. "Old" looking stuff has been used/phased out. New, sealed stuff stockpiled.
Third is diversification. I have a lot of oddball metric military calibers with surplus ammo purchased very cheaply. I'm familiar with the concept of cost amortization in terms of purchase for long term storage, but this ammo is in containers engineered for such use, so price at the time is to me inconsequential when it guarantees an ammo supply for times such as these (within a reasonable time frame). This is my go-to for times when I cannot replace components for first line loads. Time to dig deep in the safe to itch my trigger finger, and experiment with some new loads from the "random stuff" pile.
I simply refuse to shoot less. I will concentrate on using up surplus components and ammo, and concentrate on calibers that are either expendable or replaceable until times improve or I am able to stock some first line stuff. That being said, my standard match and hunting ammo and components thereof are off limits except for zeroing, hunting and matches until further notice.
