Opinions vary, but I'd have a hard time paying inflated prices for mediocre ammunition. Even if you don't consider accuracy important, it still might be best to wait until the situation improves.
Yeah not looking at building a ton of stock at the current prices (not yet anyway) but getting enough to shoot and practice is a goal. Seems that $.50-60 area is not that common right now so will probably be a price (when available) I’ll have to live with for a while.
