I have heard a lot of talk about how the shortage will end as soon as people stop hoarding ammo. I have also heard others say you should have stocked up before the shortage and been prepared. These two statements are, for the most part, counter intuitive. If you shoot much at all you should stock up for future shortages on ammo, or reloading components, preferably both. The other reason you should continue to buy now is, and I have said it before, it isn't getting any cheaper and prices are NEVER going back to pre-panic pricing,period. Also, ammo is a commodity and, like any other commodity, you should take advantage and buy it cheap and sell it high. That is what makes any economy go round and round. I took approximately 6000 rounds of 22lr to a local gun show yesterday and turned it into $600, I had about $350 invested, which I reinvested in Mag-pull 30 round mags and other stuff which will go up in price the next time this happens. By the way I walked around with it in a back pack with a sign on it for an hour or two selling it below what any of the dealers were selling it for then sold the remainder to the dealer with the lowest price. I know some of you will call me a scalper but I prefer to think of myself as a commodities trader.
