Short of the actual apocalypse, I cannot see ammo again becoming more expensive than it was. With the caveat that ammo will return to those prices in 5 or 6 years from the inflation our government (largely) has unleashed upon us.

"large" is a relative term.
I saw my friend Andy at the range Sunday, he was there with his father.
In the back of his mom-van he had five or six pistols, four or five rifles and boxes of ammo.
I checked out his new 2011; very nice.
To me, the back of his car looked like a range trip - which it was.
I laughed at him and said "he had an arsenal". Andy and his dad laughed.
Prices have been very high, they may or may not drop, my crystal ball's at the repair shop.
I don't buy - I reload. I have enough projectiles, powder and primers for the foreseeable future; and supplies are a line item in my household budget.
If you're seriously worried about having enough ammo - start reloading.
Then you can worry about having enough primers.
Current round count?
I don't have any .40 - which is okay because I don't have any .40 firearms.
I'm back to ordering one case a month myself. SGAmmo and their $200 or more free shipping makes it very hard to say no to these days.

Another standard goodie, “I’d rather be looking AT it than FOR it.”

He came straight out and asked what folks had for ammo stock and how much more they were planning on buying... He never mentioned firearms...
Tell him what you want but it was still a stupid post.

Do you know how many market researchers come to online forums to get a feel for consumer behavior? If this has even a small chance of kickstarting a .30 super carry 1911, I'm gonna take the time and put it out there.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Nighthawk Custom 1911 in 30 Super Carry
The 30 Super Carry debuts by stepping out of the firearm equivalent of a Rolls Royce.
YES they do exist, but for the price of a used car, or a few mortgage payments.

I suggest you look into the .40 world in 2022. I think the rest of the 2020's are going to be a decade of re-popularization of the .40 SW cartridge. It's worth getting into as we on the commercial market are about to have some good going. With a LOT of PDs, LE and gov agencies, going to 9mm, or even potentially .30 Super Carry, we are about to have a great opportunity to "hang ten" (as those really cool surfer dudes say!) on a massive wave of trade-in, high quality GLOCK® Perfection® firearms chambered in the field proven .40 S&W cartridge. You can basically buy 3 to 5 lightly used Gen 3 Glock® 22 or 23 handguns for the price of 1 or 2 CZ75s, or similar. Idk about you but 5 beats 1 in most days. I'm saying you can have a CCW G22, a nightstand G22, a basement G22, an attic G22, and a dedicated vehicle mounted G22 for the price of one heavy outdated communist steel brick of CRAP. But for the poors in MA you can only dream of cashing in on this since you fools can't own glocks legally.
I'd rather have some quality American made, FACTORY .40 such as that of CCI Blazer® than "Bubbas Georgia Basement Boom Boom Bullets" from some guy named Allen.

Screw loaded ammo. I want independence. I went on a reloading component bi-weekly spending spree back between 2014 - 2018 and I got a lot to show for it. Not going to post a number but I got enough components to shoot un-interrupted for the next 20 years so I could give 2 sh!tz about past, current and future political ammo panics.

My wife tells me to buy more all the time.

Cheaper than all the crap she buys, takes up less room as well.

Yup, It's called dollar-cost averaging into the market.

We went out for the day on the bike with some friends today and stopped by the Market basket for some fish for dinner and there was an ambulance out front. My wife asked what happened and a fellow said that someone had fainted in aisle 7.
I said, they probably got a look at the price of meat!
I have been using my dads method since 1990 buy 2 before you use 1
I will also buy my own inventory from myself
Example today 1 took 100 rds of 22lr
Would cost me $10 or so to replace so $10 went in the ammo fund box

@btnh6668 Don't listen to this joker, this guy lives in Alabama and spends his free time (seems to be a lot of it) making rude replies to random people asking questions on a gun forum based on the oppsite side of the country. Obviously he is retired, I just hope I don't end up like him if I reach his age.
Somebody needs to check on grandpa, he's off his meds and getting his blood pressure up on the computer again!
