This is why you always have enough on hand.

The guys with Dillon's are always bragging.

I kinda like my Lee Turrent press for my .243 and .380.

Checking my shelves, I have about 20,000 rounds of centerfire ammo in all calibers; 5,000 rounds of 22 Long Rifle; and about 8,000 various primers. No idea if I will be able to find any bullets. Maybe cast lead will be available, but at what price is unimaginable, and any jacketed bullets are unlikely to be found for a while. In any event, I feel confident that I am good for at least a couple years (save possibly the bullet shortage) so I feel no desire to fight the current mass of humanity at a show (skipping one today) just to pay outrageous prices (I see $80 bricks of 22 ammo selling, not just asking).

This is why I have been saying for many years that one should always have enough ammo on hand to get through a prolonged shortage. It happened in 2008, and again 2012-13. We know the reason: political concerns. This WILL happen, again.

I have similar amounts on hand, in fact I have over 20,000 rounds of Winchester Ranger 9mm in various flavors stocked away. I look at the whiners who are complaining of "panic" and just have to laugh. What were these folks thinking anyway, that they'd always be able to run down to wallyworld and buy a box of ammo for ten bucks?

I bought most of my Ranger 9mm ammo between $7.40 & $14.00 a box, including several thousand rounds of RA9TA, RA9T, & RA9TP+. Folks had best wake up quick, things are not going back to the way they were for at least the remainder of this presidents second term(elections have consequences).

All I can say is go drop in on SGammo & Ammo To Go and try and find yourself some 9mm ammo.

I'm not magical and I don't have a Progressive press. I'm off work after foot surgery. I can either watch brain rotting daytime T.V. or load ammo on my old RockChucker single stage. I've got buckets of brass I'm slowly wading thru. I have plenty of components. I got Obamanated once.He won't get me again.
