Guns America Digest has a recent interview with Jason Hornady about their current production efforts and his expectations for ammo sales. It's interesting reading and may alleviate some fears about longer term ammo and component supplies. He confirms that much (most) of the current situation is the result of panic buying.

I met a gal at a local motorcycle shop who is from Grand Island. She says that Hornady is going full blast 24/7 and there is plenty of opportunity for over time. So, they are producing.

So does he have any idea when the panic buying will end? I'm still doing it. It's self defense.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

I’m surprised hornady never got into selling primers as well..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Given that Hornady doesn't make primers or powder, as a handloader I'm not very concerned about Hornady's production. If anything, I am competing with them for primer availability.

The term "panic buying" assumes that things are going back to a pre-2020 status quo, and that seems like a pretty shaky assumption.

Seems there is a hole in the distribution system where product is disappearing and no one seems too concerned to find where that hole is.

If Biden taxes guns and ammo like he's threatened to do in the past, the buying might slow WAY down. It'll be hell getting stuff in the months before it goes into affect, though.

If its something new, I'll buy a bit to get by. This will pass too an THEN you buy unless you are still stupid. If it doesn't pass it won't matter either.

That hole is in the "Just in Time" inventory that every level of manufacturing from raw product to consumer retailers aspire to. Nobody wants inventory carrying costs, so there's no inventory. Local Scheels gets ammo every weekday, prices it and puts it on the shelves, basically normal price with 1-3 box limits.

Triple whammy panic buying between an election, civil unrest, and Covid-19.
Go figure. I’m fine waiting for quality ammo and not boxes of bang clicks....

Everybody that formerly had 1,000 primers on hand now wants 2,000 or 5,000. Everybody that formerly had a box of .30-30s now wants 3 boxes or 5. Everybody that had 3 boxes of cheap dove loads now wants 6 or 10 boxes. Everybody that had 10 Flats of AAs it STSs for target shoots now wants 20 or 40 flats. Everybody that had a box of .22s, now wants 5 boxes. Everybody that had 1,000 .22s now wants 10,0000. Everybody that had 3 lbs of powder, now wants 10 lbs. If anybody sees something on the shelf that kinda might work but isn’t their ideal solution, they’re buying it anyway, either to use regrettingly, or to use as trade bait or to flip. The stuff hits the shelves and sells immediately, rather than sitting for weeks.
