I didn't say panic buy. I said learn from your observations and prepare yourself next time. Panics happened in 1994, 2000, 2008, and now. I remember buying 500 rounds bulk packs of 22lr for $7.99 and I still have and shoot that ammunition. It's not at all stupid to make an informed decision and have what you need when you need it with a price that isn't crazy.

I'm not concerned with having stashes of ammo or anything. I want a box to go shoot for fun and can't buy it because of people scooping it up to stash

Well, unfortunately the same things have happened before. I am just suggesting buying enough so you can shoot without care of having no replacement.

In the next 6 - 12 months the supply will catch up. Buy 5 or 6 thousand rounds of 22, which shouldn't be to expensive and when the next panic come, which it will, you'll be set to plink for a while.

Exactly, a few years ago $20 at Wally World would get you 1100 rounds of bulk 22lr . Throw it in the cart next to the bread and beer.

What you need? If you ride to Raceland, you can have for free. Hell, if you bring your waders, you can just go and shoot at my targets too!

I'd give my left nut for 500 rounds of 357/38 to go blast at the camp right now.

If this turnaround ever gets done we'll come by.

What kinds of targets you got.

I just want 50

That's all I want. Lighting off 50 rounds today would do wonders for my mental health

Not gonna be able to though. shite is nowhere to be found.

My mental health has suffered too from lack of shooting. I have more free time this senester than ever and I can't make use of it. Sucks...

But I vote background checks for all ammo sales!!!

You know downshift hates semi autos. This shouldn't even be a question.

It's largely not being panic bought, in my opinion. I think some of it is being flipped.

I stopped in one of the big box stores this weekend and the clerk said he got 3 buckets of Remington 22LR, 1400 rounds. Said 25 guys were at the door when it was unlocked that morning, and 22 of them went away mad.
