i was in the reloading supply biz back during the previous shortage. saw the very same things happening prior to the election of barry o. anyone who couldn't see the forest for the trees was just s.o.l. i vowed to never run out of supplies after that ordeal. when things got back to normal i bought at least a 10yr supply of the calibers i reload, which is all the common and many of the uncommon. the unfortunate thing this time is, thing may not get back to normal. primers are still a problem if you want more that a couple of thousand at a time and some calibers of jacketed bullets are very hard to find yet today. btw, i love hearing the whiners complain about prices. why didn't you buy when things were cheap?
