I got a quarter ton of lead, 30k primers, lots of powder, and more brass and empty shot shells than I can count. I started stocking up after 9/11. Don't cry now, you should have known. It's not the first time it's happened.

Can I come and hang with you if the zombie apocalypse ever happens........LOL
We suffer chronic shortages here in Canada. For about a year and a half I couldn't find the .308 ammo I use for hunting. Luckily I had several hundred rounds stored. When they started appearing again, I bought several hundred more. I was told in several sporting goods/gun stores that it was the fault of the US military. Since most of the ammo is manufactured in the US, the US military gets first dibs.
So far the situation in the US doesn't seem to have affected us up here........but it's a slow time of year for ammo. We'll see what happens in a month or two. Luckily I have enough .45 acp and .308 saved up to get me through the summer. I have a couple thousand .22 lr stored up. Normally I don't bother with the .22 because that's never been hard to find but there were a couple sales last fall and I picked a couple 500 round bricks up at a gun auction last fall too.
Hopefully things will normalize in the US real soon. All I know is, I've always meant to reload as it would save me a ton of $$$ and I've always kept my brass.....now may be the time to invest in reloading equipment.
