Unless one is a complete newly awakened gun owner starting from scratch, why is anyone who has owned guns for a few years needing to buy or worse wanting to buy ammo now rather than just adjusting the quantity you shoot and stretching one's supply out?
This situation has been here before ( three or four times since 2010) and many of the same people who have seen it before still get sucked right into buying at peak pricing times.
If someone is such an avid shooter that they are consuming a couple of cases a month in these times, they should have been buying it by the pallet all along when it was half or less the price and every vendor had it.
Now that it's reaching "unobtainium" status is not the time to be having to "stock up" so what ever price you pay is your penance for your procrastination.
This, and if anyone is a new gun owner, let this "crisis" be a lesson - if there is a return to some normalcy in pricing, stock up so that you can easily go through a year, preferably two or three, without having to pay the high prices. I learned my lesson after Sandy Hook, I thought I had plenty of ammo at the time (and I did for the most part) but I really stocked up during the cyclic lows in pricing on ammo (and guns) after that.
