First, buy rifles and weapons that are exempt from registration. Second buy all the ammo for them you can. I have plenty of 22lr, 308, 306, and 12 gauge shotgun in slug, buckshot and duck loads. Pistol, 45ACP and 45 Long Colt SA and 22lr. Krag 30-40 stays off the grid and one can buy the rifles for it without registration. Black powder is getting very hard to buy without being noticed but a black powder weapon one can make the bullets all day long with a mold. .58,.54, .36, and .44 are available for pistols and rifles. I even have a Whitworth .45 hexagonal mold for the rifle that has ballistics that compare with a 306.

Good advice. I’ve been stockpiling ammo since 9-11-01, for 7 calibers, so I’m good. There’s so many pieces involved in reloading that the upfront investment scares-off some people, plus the workspace required, and storage for all those various pieces and needed supplies. I’d worry about storing black powder in a condo complex, in case of a fire or accident, with neighbors too close. Is there a penalty on a homeowner’s ins policy for reloading/storing black powder, if they’d find out?
