You thought primers were tough to find before? You ain’t seen anything yet. Hope everyone has what they need, this is going to be a long one.

And not just primers

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....

It will be everything once the uninformed realize what is about to happen.

Our grandson works at a farm store. He said ammo comes in daily, and goes fast.

Might be time to sell a bunch of rifles.

I hit Academy monday morning, line all the way from door to side of building. We sat in truck until it went away, went in and they had literally brought all the ammo they had to go out to the front of the store on a rolling metal shelf. Scored 3 bricks of 22lr.

I sure would love a pound or two of Varget
With sales like that they should be able to ramp up production...

Mine began in 1994 after the Clinton primer scare.

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.

I’ve been seeing 5.55 and 9mm ammo daily for the last week at Sportsman's Warehouse.

At double last year's prices. Soon triple.
Good thing I've been hoarding since Kennedy was shot. Anybody who didn't is a retarded [bleep].

Great idea, with things in short supply and overpriced already let's encourage more of the same. Brilliant !

I don’t think anyone is suggesting anything. Just commenting on the craziness that is about to ensue. People thought it was bad before, this one should be a doozy based on what we have already seen.
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?

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.
