Good point but the prices will rise for you guys who re-load too. Having a big stock to fall back on helps that out but sooner or later you will have to get more supplies. I noticed that quite a few places on line are now out of .223 ammo.

The only thing I will have money in is the bullets then.
My current stockpile for .223 alone is 4000 pieces of brass, enough kegs to do about 10k rnds, about 12k primers and currently about 500 bullets.
I have enough supplies to do about 5k rnds of .40 s&w, 1k of .380acp and about 1k rnds of 7mm Mag.
I don't think I'm going to run dry anytime soon.
I live about 30min from Midway and about 40min from Graffs.

I have primers that were purchased during the Clinton Administration. Bullets that are older than my kids. Probably 1000 lbs.of brass and a bit of powder. Keep the stock up and buy right and never have to worry about it. Some call it hoarding, I call it thrifty.

I like that one! Unfortunately I just started reloading about 6 months ago. It was my gift to myself after graduating college. I don't have anything stocked up yet. But I keep adding little by little.

I dunno about that...I stopped at Cabelas day before yesterday and while they did have signs up saying "Maximum of 10 boxes of same cal/same brand" in the ammo section I was still able to purchase 3 cases of 1000 rounds each of 3 different brands of .223 (3k rounds total)....but the shelves were getting bare...in the hour or so I hung out in the guns section I saw a pile of AR's go out the door and I heard one of the sales guys say he had sold 15 AR's that day alone (and there must have been 20 sales guys in the firearms section...so you do the math)...the line at the gun counter was insane...so doesn't sound like they were "pulling" any of their gear at this store (which was in PA).
