[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1352494, member: 11132"] The issue is not even guys buying a few cases the issue are the same guys that buy 100K of 22lr or 15K of 5.56 etc decide now they are going to reload all that ammo. This would not even be issue if they actually used it....but NOOOOO almost all that prepper crap just sits on shelves somewhere doing nothing. They will never shoot let alone reload any of it. I can not tell you how many AR-15 and other rifles I built that the only person that fired them was me for testing and group verification. I will bet during the early scares it was 50% and after still 25% or more. They are nothing but safe queens to bring out at the football party to show off to look cool. I shoot alot and try to help other guys out locally that can not afford the the $ to buy in the amounts to save some $$. I also have never turned down someone that was in a tight spot on a forum if I had plenty. Many times sent it for free and never more than my cost and shipping. It really screws up the whole supply and demand equilibrium when people panic buy and hoard. That then causes people with regularity because they actually use them to then have to resort to buying far more than they normally would as they have no idea when they might be able to get more. 22lr was up to the cost of 9mm and 45 at one point because of this. SO you **** bet ya when I got a chance at a really good price of .22 a bought a number of cases. Difference is between my kids that will be gone in 3 months of heavy practice as its used both rifle and pistol. [/QUOTE]
