Geezer Blew The Budget

I've considered beefing up my reloading stocks in anticipation to new gun/ammo legislation......put a slide stick to the amount I had vs what I needed to avoid Demo new ideas..( lay low on guns but restrict/tax ammo into ozone}...went into Sportsman Warehouse today and noticed a measurable low stock of both primers n powder.
I'd planned to increase this in the future but went ahead and bought powders n primers to match my bullet stocks......I now
have enough for 15+ years of shooting....guess others had the same thought. Store it in a controlled room in 20mm cans.

i'm with you on this one. sounds like alot of people are expecting it.and as a result are stockpiling it. i just wonder how the war is
effecting prices for powder,brass and bullets.

The war has created a short-term shortage and higher prices.

It's hoarders and stockpilers who are making the shortage worse, deeper and longer-lasting. If people would buy only what they need for the next year, there'd be no empty shelves for the rest of us.
