Just an observation...
Most folks who say "I'm set for life on ammo" don't shoot.
If you're someone who shoots, the component shortage is painful. The price increase and buying to scalp is a double painful. I don't have a stockpile to sit on, I have a stockpile to shoot.....but I have to replace components and I don't want to stop shooting.
For some of us it's not about being irresponsible or lack of foresight, it's about being limited in how long we can continue to do what we like to do.
Exactly....i went from shooting at least 1000 each of 9mm AND 5.56 a month pre-scamdemic to barely shooting much at all. What I do shoot anymore is usually via a 22lr conversion kit out of an AR and my so far super reliable Taurus Tx22. I have 10s of 1000s of 22lr left so not worried about running out of it. I do have a sizeable stash of ammo for each caliber I own, but am trying to use it as sparingly as possible due to difficulties replacing it.
