another buckshot story

Like your thoughts

If only people had the foresight to buy ammo and stock up at regular intervals during times of peace rather than buying in bulk as soon as something serious happens, then there wouldn't be any shortages because everyone would already have a healthy amount of ammo in reserve.

Honestly folks, when this all blows over and ammo is readily available again, (which unfortunately isn't likely to be anytime soon, but I digress...) try buying at least a box of ammo every 2 weeks. Stock up slowly over time, take advantage of sales whenever possible, and maybe invest in conversion kits for less popular cartridges which are more likely to remain available during a panic.

Not bad thinking. After the last ammo shortage I made sure I had enough for a "active year" except for .22lr I have more. I stick to popular calibers. If you can't do it with. .22lr, .5.56, 38/357, 45acp, 30-06, and 12ga WTH! I have multiple barrels and chokes for the 870 so I'm good for everything but concealed carry with that alone.

Don't be caught short again

Here ya go: PMC 12 ga 00 BUCK 9 Pellet HI VELOCITY 2 3/4 HV12BK00 5 rnd/box [HV12BK00-5] - $2.85 : Ammo Supply Warehouse

I learned the last ammo shortage. Never be caught short on .22lr and your 12ga ammo. With a modest investment and a 870 with 2 barrels you can be prepared for almost everything you can do with a firearm

Every time I read an article where they arrested some bad guy who had a "stockpile" of 200 rounds of ammo, I just chuckle.

Ya, whats with that, every one should have at least 200 Pounds of ammo.

The P is much better than the r in this case
