I have a solid back up cache but for me the days of going to the range weekly and burning through several hundred rounds each visit are over unless supply starts to pick up again. I just don't see how I can replace what I have.
I'm hoping the ammo and component manufacturers see value in scaling up their production equipment given now that the insane demand will likely not abate any time soon. While they've stressed that they're running at max capacity throughout the nonsense in 2020, I question how many of them have actually invested in scaling up their production capacity itself, probably thinking the demand may be temporary.

Back during the Obama panic (remember all of the terrible things that came of that?) the excuse for the manufacturers not scaling up their production capability was that they would be left with a great deal invested when the panic subsided and not be able to recover their investment. Exactly how has that played out?

Heres my very first bit of advice before it all starts...
Horde .223 ammo that will cycle through an AR
Yeah, you're never going to use it all, but if anybody on "our team" stops by and needs ammo, they should get it.
In any event, it will become currency. Yep.
Camp is where you make it.

With the exception of 12 & 20 ga target ammo for skeet & trap, I'm with ya. I'm not shooting any handguns or rifles (excluding .22s which I have plenty of leftover ammo from my .22 benchrest days) unless I can find ammo to replace what I shoot at reasonable prices I've been shooting rifles for 50 years and handguns for 40, I'm thinking I don't need a heck of a lot more practice.

Watch a schit load of ammo and components come on the market in the next 2 weeks to a month.
A cornucopia at skyhigh prices never seen before....
"Just outta the blue"........... LOL prolly true.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.
