Ammo shortages

[heeler]

"How long will this shortage last??
To that question Trent after dealing with the great ammo drought in .380 ACP a couple of years ago after things relaxed a bit and prices subsided to where one online dealer had much better pricing than another or others I bought fairly often.
Now I have plenty.
Time... is on your side.

Got an email from Weidners saying they are currently 24 days behind in filling orders, but that if what you ordered online was in stock when you placed the order, it will be filled.

Gonna be nice when Tula releases their line of 6.8 SPC in early 2013. And with Federal have a line dedicated to 6.8 with 90 gr Gold Dots, ammo and brass will be flowing in the commercial market once they fill the contract for the Saudi's. Yay!

I already planned ahead and have a supply. Some advice from the 2008 frenzy

-Get into reloading. Ammo goes first, but you can still find components.

-Practice with .22. It is fun anyway.

-Don't panic and start paying stupid prices for stuff. As a reloader, I had more options than the people purchasing 1000 rounds of (insert ammo here).

I also remember shortages of powder and primers. I have no idea how this mess is going to play out but I'm preparing for the worst within the limits of my income. That's all I can do. I'm heading out later in search of powder, primers, bullets and parts kits.
