From what I’ve seen, people are buying anything and everything anticipating a ban or shortage; even if they don’t own a firearm for it.

I was considering buying a 45-70 revolver from a friend a short while back and when I checked the store for ammo, no one had any. They said they usually do but the boxes that sat there for years and years all flew off the shelf along with everything else.

You know there is panic buying when even odd sizes like that are gone.

I've had no problem finding 7.5 Swiss and 9x18. I don't have much that shoots it, but I can shoot what I do have until the barrels melt.

I sadly only have one .22LR, and it's a breakdown survival rifle. I want to buy a 10/22 or something of the like, but they're hard to come by.

I'm even having trouble finding .38 S&W (not .38 Special) for my 1890s revolver.

6 years ago, A 70 round bandolier of 1946 head stamped Turkish 8mm Mauser was $3.

Now it is $70 IF you can find it.
