I have to reload enough 9mm for a family of four that goes to the range 10 to 15 times a year and goes through 1000 rds each time. I was lucky enough to buy enough reloading supplies for 10000 rds before the big O got relected so I am set so far but if things dont change by summers end I could be short, hope not ,but maybe, I guess I hoarded a little but did it all before ***** hit the fan......Bob
Dialing it back a touch isn't a possibility?[/QUOTE
There was no shortage of anything when I purchased my reloading supplies (oct 2012).....plus we ran out and had to buy retail at the end of last summer....I can only reload so fast.....Bob

I took my wife with me to GM last Saturday. She offered to go.. Someone actually grabbed a box out of my hands. I looked him in the eyes and said "really?" He promptly returned the box and apologized. I had 40 rounds before I went and now I have 360 rounds. I feel much better about that now. I would like to have at least 800 before I start shooting it. I feel that this mentality is common right now...however, at no time has this been a game for me. I want to be able to shoot some and keep the rest for an emergency. There are a lot of ammo flippers out there though...
Hey - don't ask people to conserve in a time of shortage. THIS IS MURICA
Gotta ask ....are you calling me a stupid redneck??

I think this is a common misconception: ammo "gougers" will be stuck with all this ammo and have to sell it for less than cost.
Unless they're buying it from CTD I seriously doubt this will happen en masse.
Just go to the "Get your ammo here" thread. At the top of the thread, click on "Thread Tools" and click on "Subscribe to this thread" on the drop down menu. Then ask for email notification on that menu. Every time the trhead is added to, you'll get an email.
I have a coworker who does flea markets on the weekend. He's come into work on Monday and say he made anywhere from $500-1000. I don't think he ever once accounted for his time and expenses. He thinks he's in it for the money. It has to be more of a hobby than anything.
