They are going to buy their 2 boxes of ammo, shoot half a box and put the rest in the sock draw with their new gun. The zombie preppers are going to vacuum pack their stash and store it next to their 100 year supply of wild rice. That leaves those of us who actually shoot a lot. If you're anything like me, you're rationing your supply and biding your time until things get back to reality. If I run out of bullets before sanity returns, I'll be working on my bowling game.

I cast the bullets I shoot most of the time, and they are as accurate if not more accurate than store bought. I am tolerable on primers, but because I am being careful, I have pulled the bullets on some rounds I know I will never shoot; mostly jhp's that were not accurate after trying them out. Back in better times often loaded 50 or so just to test for accuracy; now better as primed brass.
