This is so true. Even with my background, my bunker is filled with sale priced ammo. I don't get to excited about shortages or election years. A tiny bit of preparation is all you need.I'd agree with what shibu was saying. I got a call from family saying he couldn't find any more 223 ammo. All I could say was, "How many mags do you have and do you have enough ammo to fill them"? He said he's got 4 loaded mags, and I said if you needed more than that they'd be studying the gunfight at military colleges. That's an exaggeration of course, but here's how I've looked at a supply of ammo. If you fired 1 round a day on average at wild game every day for a year you'd be at 365rds. If you took all the guns & mags you'd actually carry into a gunfight and loaded them all up add that number of rounds. If you had enough ammo for a year of wild game and two gunfights you're likely going to have more than enough for whatever we face in life.
The ammo I have bought and have around is stuff I bought on sale, so I can continue to have target practice, compete, train, and hunt with without interruption from the marketplace.
