My only issue with the ammo shortage is that the wife bought me a 308 Win for Christmas and I had never owned a rifle in that caliber. So getting ammo has been a challenge but I have scrounged up brass, bullets, powder and dies and I had primers. I had to pay more for it than I normally would have, but I got it. I have hundreds of rounds of ammo for the other rifles I own, but until Dec I had zero use for any 308 Win items. I'm pretty sure I am not the only one in this type of circumstance so it isn't a matter of not being "prepared" but rather of not previously having any need.
