Ammo Shortage ? Primers ? See Video's

[ssgross]

And as far as hoarding, I don't consider it hoarding when it's simply planning ahead. This is like the anti's 'why do you need a gun?

before all this, many of us would buy in small amounts whenever we were at the store. I knew I would always use it, and it's nice to never need special trips out - just like it's nice to always have a second gallon of milk in the fridge (or 3 if you have kids like me). I would also do 1-2 big...biiiiiig Grafs orders a year (in line with bonus schedule) proportional to how much I shoot. I've shot less during covid, and was banned from shooting for several months.
I'm sure many of you bought reasonably like this pre covid, and now like me your normally rotating supply has turned in to a hoard. I figure I have 2.5 years of unworried recreation shooting left. I'm going to start rationing next month to stretch that to 4 years.
If anything, this is the opposite of hoarding, because I refuse to buy at these prices (sans the small rifle primers. I only had 1 brick left and planned to compete high power this summer, covid willing) - I'm not placing any burden on the current market's limited supply, and I placed no excessive demand on the past market's supply either. The have-not grasshoppers will always despise the have ants and blame us for their lack of prudence.

I have not filled the guest room with TP like some people might think when they get an inkling you have stock.

I ALWAYS had an extra 18 pack of TP in the attic. Where I grew up mom went to the big store only once a month and if we ran out...we were out. So she always had a bit extra just in case we all got colon-flu at the same time. That small amount of non-hoarding prudence literally saved my behind from the family cloth, by just a day or two.
